Apricot stem tea is traditionally consumed as a mild herbal drink, but it has not been shown to treat a health condition. Its antioxidant content does not establish that it prevents disease or works as a remedy.
Make apricot stem tea by steeping dried apricot stems in hot water, then straining them out. Rinse the stems first and avoid boiling them for a long time, which can make the infusion taste harsh.
No, apricot stem tea has not been shown to cause weight loss or burn body fat. Drinking it without added sugar can be a low-calorie alternative to sweet drinks, but it is not a slimming treatment.
No, pure apricot stem tea is naturally caffeine-free because it is made from apricot stems rather than tea leaves. Blended products may contain other ingredients, so check whether the tea includes a caffeinated plant.
Apricot stem tea has not been reliably established as a diuretic. More frequent urination should not be taken as proof that it is treating fluid retention, and people taking diuretic medication should ask a clinician before using it regularly.
There is no reliable evidence that apricot stem tea relieves bloating or treats water retention. Persistent swelling can have causes that need medical attention, so do not rely on this tea instead of seeking care.
Apricot stem tea usually has a mild, subtle herbal taste rather than the sweet flavor of ripe apricot fruit. Its flavor can vary with the stems and brewing strength; steep briefly and add lemon if you want more brightness.
Yes, apricot stem tea is caffeine-free, so it is not expected to keep you awake like caffeinated tea. A large cup just before bed may still interrupt sleep if it makes you need the bathroom.
The safety of drinking apricot stem tea during pregnancy has not been established. Herbal products can have effects that are not well studied in pregnancy, so ask your doctor or midwife before drinking it regularly.
Store dried apricot stems in a sealed, dry container away from heat and sunlight. Keep them free of moisture, and discard them if they develop mold, an unusual smell, or signs of insects.

Apricot stem tea is an herbal infusion made by steeping dried stems from apricots in hot water; it is made from the fruit’s stems, not its leaves or flesh. It is most familiar in apricot-growing parts of Turkey, where the dried stems may be saved for brewing. The drink has a mild, slightly earthy, herbal taste rather than the sweetness of ripe apricots.
It is usually served hot and plain, as an alternative to regular tea or as a light drink between meals. When brewed without additions, it is very low in energy; the table lists 1 calorie per 100 g. Steep the stems briefly and strain them for a gentler-tasting cup.
