Refreshing Green Apple Drink (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ For the base
01 -
3 green apples (Granny Smith works best)
02 -
4 tablespoons honey
03 -
2 cups still water
→ For serving
04 -
Sparkling water or club soda
05 -
Ice cubes (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Remove the cores from the green apples and chop them into small pieces.
02 -
Combine the diced apples, still water, and honey in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about 15 minutes. As the apples soften, press them against the side of the pan to release more flavor. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
03 -
Pour the cooled mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or pitcher. For each serving, add about an inch of the apple syrup to the bottom of a glass, top with sparkling water, add ice if desired, and enjoy!
# Notes:
01 -
Dice the apples immediately before cooking to prevent browning.
02 -
Feel free to adjust the honey amount based on how sweet or tart you prefer your drink.
03 -
This refreshing mocktail is perfect for parties and can be made ahead of time - just store the syrup in the refrigerator.
