1 cup (medium) of Apple tea (200 g) has 4 calories. That works out to 2 calories per 100 g. It contains 1 g of carbs, 0 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Apple tea is an infusion made by steeping dried apple pieces or peel in hot water. It is enjoyed in many places, and in Turkey you may also come across instant apple-flavoured granules; recipes and sweetness vary. A simple homemade version can be made with fresh or dried apple slices.
The brew is usually clear and golden, with a gentle fruity sweetness. Serve it hot or chilled, plain or with a little cinnamon; it can be a pleasant caffeine-free alternative to black tea. Unsweetened apple tea is very low in calories, with 2 calories per 100 g. If you are watching added sugar, check the ingredients on instant mixes or make your own infusion.

Apple tea is usually an infusion made with fresh or dried apple, sometimes combined with spices such as cinnamon or cloves. Some products sold as apple tea are instant sweetened powders, so they are different from a plain fruit infusion.
Pure apple tea contains no caffeine because it is a fruit infusion, not a tea-leaf drink. Blends that include black or green tea can contain caffeine, so check the ingredients if you are avoiding it.
Simmer sliced fresh apple or dried apple pieces in water, then let the infusion steep briefly and strain it. Cinnamon, cloves, or a little lemon can add flavor; sweetening is optional.
Unsweetened apple tea is a low-calorie way to enjoy a warm, fruity drink and add to your fluid intake. It is not a proven remedy for illness, and claims that it detoxes the body or cures a cold are unsupported.
Yes, fresh apples work well for apple tea. Slice them thinly and simmer them in water to release their flavor; dried apple usually gives a more concentrated taste, so adjust the amount to suit your preference.
No, apple tea made by infusing fruit is not necessarily the same as Turkish instant apple tea powder. Instant mixes often contain sugar or sweeteners, while a homemade infusion can be made from apple and water alone.
Yes, apple tea can be served cold. Brew it hot, let it cool, then refrigerate it; add ice or a slice of lemon if you like. Unsweetened homemade tea avoids the added sugar common in some instant mixes.
No, apple tea does not cause weight loss by itself. Unsweetened apple tea can replace a sugary drink, but adding sugar, honey, or sweetened powder increases the drink’s sugar and energy.
Yes, pure apple tea is caffeine-free and can be enjoyed before bed. Check that it is not blended with black or green tea, and remember that a large drink just before sleep may wake you for a bathroom trip.
Store brewed apple tea in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it within a few days. Strain out fresh apple pieces before storing, since leaving fruit in the tea can make its flavor overly strong.
