Doğadan is one of Turkey's best-known tea brands, and its Keyif range is a line of fruit teas. The apple version is built on apple pieces, which the maker lists as 60% of the mix, together with okra flower, cinnamon, stevia, rosehip and apple flavouring. There is no black or green tea in the ingredient list, so this is a fruit and herb infusion rather than a tea in the strict sense, with a light sweetness from the stevia and a warm cinnamon note.
Turkish households often keep a box like this next to the çay for guests who prefer something fruity, and apple tea is a familiar choice in cafés and on winter evenings. Pour freshly boiled water over one bag and let it brew for a few minutes, following the time given on the pack; add a slice of lemon, a cinnamon stick or a little honey if you like. In summer, let a stronger brew cool and serve it over ice with a few apple slices. The box holds 20 tea bags, which makes it easy to share around the table.
Keep the box closed in a cool, dry place away from strong smells so the aroma of the apple and cinnamon stays fresh, and follow the best-before date printed on the pack.
