If you've ever traveled to Turkey, you know that everywhere you go, you can get apple tea. It's absolutely delicious and so easy to make. I always make a batch after I make applesauce or apple pie so that even my cores and peels don't go to waste.
Take all the peels and cores and put them into a large pot. Cover it with water and add about 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Bring to a boil and slowly simmer for about 10 minutes. Then cover it tightly, turn off the heat, and let it sit for about 30 minutes.
Strain out all the apple cores and peels and let it sit for a few minutes so that the cinnamon falls to the bottom and slowly pour out the clear liquid into a pitcher, leaving the cinnamon at the bottom of the pan.
You can add sugar or sweetener to taste, but it's already pretty sweet.
This can be served hot or cold and is very refreshing either way.
