Judah Newman

This is a clean, tea-forward hot drink built from real apples for natural sweetness and body—think “apple-kissed green tea,” not a smoothie. The Thermomix does the whole job: soften the apple, steep the green tea at the right temperature, then blend to a silky texture. Strain it for a clearer cup, or keep it unstrained for a warmer, cider-ish mug. Great for a gentle morning or afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Base
1 medium apple (about 180 g), cored and cut into 2 cm chunks (peel on for more aroma, peeled for cleaner flavor)
550 g water, divided
2 tsp loose-leaf green tea (or 2 tea bags)
10–20 g honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
10 g lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
1 pinch fine salt
Optional aromatics (choose 1)
2–3 thin slices fresh ginger (about 5 g)
1 strip lemon peel (no white pith)

Instructions

Make it

Add the apple chunks and 200 g of the water to the Thermomix. Cook 10 minutes at 212°F on Speed 1, measuring cup on, until the apple is fully tender (a piece should crush easily when pressed with a spoon).

Add the remaining 350 g water. Heat 4–6 minutes to 175°F on Speed 1, or until it reaches temperature and you see steady steam but no simmering.

Add the green tea (and ginger or lemon peel if using). Steep 2–3 minutes at 175°F on Speed 1, until the aroma is fresh and grassy, not bitter.

Strain the tea out through a fine-mesh strainer back into the bowl (or into a heatproof jug), then return it to the Thermomix bowl if needed.

Blend 30–45 seconds, ramping up to Speed 10, until completely smooth and glossy. You’re looking for a silky cup with no visible flecks.

Add honey/maple (if using), lemon juice (if using), and a pinch of salt. Blend 5 seconds on Speed 4. Taste: it should be lightly sweet, clearly tea-forward, and gently apple-scented.

For a clearer, “cleaner” cup, strain once more through a very fine strainer. Serve immediately in warm mugs.

Tip: If it tastes even slightly bitter, shorten the steep time next batch (or steep at 170°F). If it tastes flat, add 5 g more lemon juice or a tiny extra pinch of salt—both sharpen the apple aroma.

Notes

Sweetness: I wrote this to be gently sweet from the apple; add honey/maple only if you want it more dessert-y. Texture: Unstrained = warmer, cider-ish body. Double-strained = clean, clear flavors. Make ahead: Refrigerate up to 2 days. Reheat gently to about 160–170°F (don’t boil, it dulls the green tea).
