Blooming Apple Rose Tea is as beautiful as it is soothing. Thin slices of apple are shaped into delicate roses, slowly dehydrated, and then steeped into a gently spiced tea. As the apple petals unfurl in your cup, they release a warm, comforting flavor—like mulled cider meets a floral herbal tea. It’s a treat for the senses: fragrant, lightly sweet, and almost too pretty to drink.
How to Pick Apples
The best apples for making apple roses are firm, crisp varieties that hold their shape well when baked. Red-skinned apples are ideal for creating a natural, vibrant "petal" color.
