Brewed apricot tea is made by steeping apricot pieces in hot water. Rinse fresh or dried apricots, add them to hot water, then strain once the water tastes fruity; use more fruit or a longer steep for a stronger flavor.
Plain brewed apricot tea is caffeine-free when it is made only with apricot and water. A blend that also contains black or green tea can have caffeine, so check the ingredients if you are buying a premixed product.
Yes, fresh apricots work for brewed apricot tea. Wash and slice ripe fruit before steeping it in hot water; the result is usually lighter in flavor than tea made with dried apricots.
Yes, brewed apricot tea can be served iced. Steep it hot, strain out the fruit, and chill it before pouring over ice; chilling the tea in the refrigerator is preferable to leaving it at room temperature.
Yes, you can eat the softened apricot pieces after making brewed apricot tea if they were clean and fresh. They may have lost some flavor to the water, so taste them before adding them to oatmeal or yogurt.
Brewed apricot tea is not a dependable treatment for constipation. Drinking the flavored water does not provide the same fiber as eating whole apricots, and the tea’s effect can vary with how much fruit is used.
Plain brewed apricot tea can be a suitable caffeine-free drink before bed. Avoid blends containing black or green tea if caffeine affects your sleep, and keep the drink unsweetened if you want to avoid added sugar.
No, brewed apricot tea does not need added sugar. Apricots can give the infusion a naturally fruity taste; if you choose to sweeten it with sugar or honey, that adds sweetness and sugar to the drink.
Yes, dried apricots are commonly used for brewed apricot tea and give it a more concentrated fruity taste than fresh fruit. Rinse them first, then steep them in hot water and strain or leave the softened pieces in the cup.
Brewed apricot tea keeps for a few days in a covered container in the refrigerator. Discard it if it develops an unusual smell, appearance, or taste, and avoid storing it for long periods at room temperature.

Brewed apricot tea is a light drink made by steeping dried apricot or apricot pieces in hot water. Depending on the recipe or blend, it may contain other herbs, and its colour and fruitiness can vary. It is an infusion rather than a fixed recipe, so check the ingredients if you are choosing a particular blend.
Its gentle, fragrant flavour is pleasant on its own, hot or chilled, and it can be served with breakfast or alongside a small snack. Unsweetened, it is very low in calories, with 1 calorie per 100 g. Steep it a little longer for a fuller apricot note, and pair it with plain nuts or a lightly flavoured biscuit.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
