Ingredients
  • Large handful hearty herbs (such as sage, rosemary and thyme)
  • 1 cup maple syrup
  • 4 ounces loose leaf tea (your favorite variety)
  • Peels and cores from 2 apples
  • 42 ounces water
  • Apple peels and whole herb sprigs for garnish (optional)


Procedure
Remove the herb leaves from the stems, set aside. Put leaves, maple syrup and 1 cup water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Let cool, then strain. Refrigerate simple syrup.

Make sure the tab is closed, then put tea, apple cores and peels and herb stems into the steeper of your KitchenAid® Cold Brew Coffee Maker. Pour 34 oz. of cold water over, using a circular motion. Allow the tea to absorb water, and then pour in the remaining 8 ounces. Press down the tea and scraps. Make sure they are covered by water. Put on the lid. Brew in the refrigerator for about 12 hours.

After brewing, remove lid; using the handle, lift the steeper and rest it an an angle on the brew jar. Allow to drain for 3 minutes, then change the angle and drain for another 2 minutes. Remove steeper fully and discard used tea.

Store the tea in the refrigerator. Depending on how strong you like your tea, dilute each glass with water. Sweeten each glass with herb-maple syrup to taste and serve over ice. Garnish with apple peels and herb sprigs.
