Ingredients:

For the warming tea:

• 2 Herbapol Ogród Malina–Cytryna (Raspberry and Lemon) tea bags
• 450 ml hot water
• 100 g frozen raspberries
• 1 red apple
• 2 orange slices
• 1 cinnamon stick
• 2 cloves
• 1 star anise – optional
• 2 tsp honey
• 2 tbsp water, for boiling the raspberries

For the caramelised apple:

• 1 tsp soft brown sugar
• 1 tbsp water

To decorate:

• cinnamon sticks

• a sprig of rosemary – optional

Preparation:

1. Pour 450 ml of hot water over the Herbapol Raspberry and Lemon tea bags and brew according to the instructions on the packaging. Remove the tea bags.
2. Place the frozen raspberries in a small saucepan, add 2 tablespoons of water and bring to the boil. Boil for 2–3 minutes, stirring regularly, until the raspberries are completely heated through.
3. Wash the apple, remove the core and cut it into thin slices.
4. Add the brown sugar and 1 tablespoon of water to a frying pan and heat over a medium heat. Add the apple slices and cook for around 3–4 minutes, until lightly caramelised and golden.
5. Pour the brewed tea into a saucepan. Add the cooked raspberries, cinnamon stick, cloves, star anise and orange slices.
6. Gently heat for around 3–4 minutes, allowing the flavours and aromas to infuse.
7. Add the caramelised apple slices and remove the saucepan from the heat. Leave to cool slightly, then stir in the honey.
8. Pour the warm tea into clear mugs or glasses, dividing the raspberries and apple slices between them.
9. Garnish with a cinnamon stick, an apple slice and a sprig of rosemary. Serve immediately while still hot.
