This warming mug of tea is the kind of thing you want to curl up with on a slow morning or a chilly evening. Simmered apple slices and a Ceylon cinnamon stick give the base a naturally sweet, spiced depth, while fresh peppermint leaves steeped at the end keep everything bright and cooling. A touch of honey rounds it all out without overpowering the delicate fruit and herb flavors. Because it's built entirely from whole, simple ingredients — fresh fruit, a spice, and herbs — there's no need to scan labels or second-guess anything hiding in a tea blend or flavoring packet. It's a genuinely clean, comforting drink that comes together in under twenty minutes on the stovetop. The optional garnishes of a thin apple slice and a sprig of fresh mint make it feel a little special, whether you're serving it to guests or just treating yourself.

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Add the fresh peppermint leaves, pressing them gently into the liquid, and steep for 5 minutes.
