Apple - Plum Ice tea

This experiment is an extension of the apple - plum reduction

1Tbsp Apple Plum reduction
2Tsp Ice tea Mix / powder - i had the plain version , but you can try mint / peach / lemon or other flavors

For the reduction refer Apple Plum Reduction
In an old fashioned glass, add the reduction and the ice tea mix , and cold water
Mix well and serve immediately

Garnish with mint springs / lemon peel

Apple Plum Reduction



1  apple diced - i had a green apple that was in the fridge for quiet a while
1 plum - diced
1" Cinnamon
2 bay leaves
3/4 cup sugar ( add more if you like to)
2Tbsp water


In a pan all the ingredients along with 2Tbsp sugar and cook it over low - medium flame
Once the apple becomes soft add the remaining sugar and cook until all the ingredients have blended well and the fruits are very soft - turned into a semi solid form



Once done cool and blend it into a paste ( if you dont want a strong flavor , remove the spices, I went on to keep it and blended it all together)
Strain the paste and store it in an air - tight container

This can be used for a variety of stuffs........Like ice tea - over ice creams - mix fruits ............rest experiment yourself!!!
