What the heck is tisane? Glad you asked. Tisane is a fancy term for herbal tea made with an infusion of herbs, spices, and plant matter in hot water without the caffeine. It’s a fairly common term that is used all over the world, though in the U.S., it is not a word that’s thrown around often. Now that we have that out of the way, OnePotChef shows you how to make your very own apple tisane with cinnamon sticks. So before you go and toss out your apple peels from a delicious apple pie you’re baking in your oven, you can brew up your leftovers into a tasty drink. Double win. In a deep pot on your stove top, toss in green apple peels, a couple cinnamon sticks, and cover the ingredients with water. After you have brought your yummy concoction to a bubbly boil, reduce your stove’s heat so your mixture is down to a simmer. Once you have your tasty infusion brewed, strain it, and take a sip. You’ve just brewed your very own tisane. Of course, like OnePotChef suggests, you can make any kind of tisane you want. From pear peels to lemon peels with other herbal infusions, you are your own limit. Oh yeah, and this infusion will definitely make your home smell with homey goodness. Remember when we discussed the simmering pot recipes? This tisane business is pretty much the same—except you don’t want to boil it for so long, and you drink it of course.
