Ingredients

2 servings

2 ½ cups water
1 medium apple, cored and thinly sliced (any sweet variety such as fuji or honeycrisp)
1 ceylon cinnamon stick
Ingredient note
Some low histamine plans avoid cinnamon, but cinnamon doesn't actually contain histamine. This recipe only uses a trace amount. If you prefer to always avoid true ceylon cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp ground ginger
Ingredient note
Small amounts of ground ginger are often well-tolerated on a low histamine diet. This recipe only uses about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. If you prefer to always avoid ground ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ cup fresh peppermint leaves, loosely packed
1–2 tsp honey, to taste

For serving

2 thin apple slices, for garnish (optional)
2 small fresh peppermint sprigs, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1
Combine the water, sliced apple, Ceylon cinnamon stick, and ground ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, until the liquid is lightly golden and fragrant.
2
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the fresh peppermint leaves, pressing them gently into the liquid, and steep for 5 minutes.
