Winter not only brings biting cold but also raises health and beauty concerns, especially for women. To tackle this issue, a ‘miracle’ drink has been introduced, which helps maintain body temperature and offers surprising benefits. Ginger red apple milk tea – a perfect combination of ginger and red apple, two ingredients renowned for their amazing health properties.
Ginger not only warms the body but also improves blood circulation, while red apple is a rich source of vitamins and antioxidants, benefiting your skin and sleep. Add some creamy milk, and you’ve got yourself a delicious cup of milk tea that’s not only nutritious but will also keep you glowing and radiant throughout this winter.
Ingredients for making ginger red apple milk tea for about 4-5 cups
– Fresh ginger: Choose healthy, undamaged ginger roots, and make sure to clean them thoroughly. To maximize the flavor and essence, slice the ginger thinly instead of pounding it. Use about 6-7 slices (approximately 20-30g).
– Dried red apples: Select large, deep red apples, free from mold or worms. After cleaning, use a small knife to remove the seeds. The quantity depends on the size, roughly 5-7 apples.
– Goji berries (Chinese wolfberries): Goji berries enhance the flavor and add extra nutrients to the milk tea. Rinse the berries briefly before use, about 1 tablespoon (around 10g).
– Black tea: Choose black tea with a strong aroma to give a distinctive character to the milk tea. You can opt for tea bags for convenience or loose tea leaves if you prefer a stronger flavor. Use about 2 tea bags (totaling 4g) or 2 teaspoons of loose tea.
– Brown sugar: Brown sugar provides a gentle sweetness and an appealing color to the milk tea. You can adjust the amount to your taste, approximately 70g (adjustable according to preference).
– Fresh milk (unsweetened or sweetened): Milk adds creaminess and flavor to the tea. Choose unsweetened milk if you want to control the sweetness or go for sweetened milk if you have a sweet tooth. Use about 400ml.
– Filtered water: About 1200ml of water will be sufficient for brewing.
Preparation method for ginger red apple milk tea
To start, put 1200ml of water in a pot, then add the sliced ginger, deseeded red apples, and goji berries. Turn on the stove to high heat until the water boils, then reduce the heat to low. Add the black tea and brown sugar to the pot. Cover and simmer for about 10 minutes, allowing the ingredients to infuse and blend.
Once the tea is ready, turn off the heat and let the pot cool down for 5-10 minutes. Then, strain the tea to remove the ginger, apple, and tea leaves. Pour the tea into a large jar or container, and slowly add 400ml of fresh milk, gently stirring to mix the tea and milk. When you pour the milk tea into cups, you’ll notice the attractive color, along with the soft red apple slices floating on the surface, indicating a tasty and nutritious drink.
Ginger red apple milk tea is best enjoyed warm, allowing you to fully appreciate its flavor and benefits. Notably, this drink is ideal for consumption before bedtime, as it relaxes the body, aids sleep, and promotes a deeper slumber.
Notes
You can substitute brown sugar with honey to enhance the flavor and nutritional value. If you’re not a fan of black tea, feel free to use oolong tea or green tea. Adjust the amount of ginger according to your preference for spiciness.

In particular, ginger red apple milk tea, with its warm spiciness from ginger, subtle sweetness from red apples, and the aroma of tea, becomes a ‘treasure’ for women, ensuring fresh breath, restful sleep, and glowing skin during the winter.
