Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients:

  • 4 large apples, juiced
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon honey (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • Apple slices or cinnamon sticks for garnish (optional)
Instructions:

  1. Begin by washing and juicing the apples. You should end up with about 4 cups of fresh apple juice. The fresh juice will have a fragrant, tangy aroma that sets the stage for our drink.
  2. In a pitcher, combine the apple juice with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. The vanilla adds a warm, sweet undertone that pairs perfectly with the apple.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to the mixture. This will enhance the freshness of the drink and provide a slight tang.
  4. If you prefer your drink sweeter, stir in 1 tablespoon of honey until fully dissolved. The natural sweetness of honey complements the apple and vanilla beautifully.
  5. Fill four glasses with ice cubes and pour the apple vanilla juice over the ice. The clinking of the ice cubes will remind you of the refreshing finish awaiting you.
  6. For an extra touch of elegance, garnish with apple slices or a cinnamon stick. These simple additions will enhance the drink’s visual appeal and aroma.
Helpful Tips and Variations:

  • For a variation, try using pear juice instead of apple juice for a different yet equally delightful flavor.
  • Serve in a chilled glass for an extra layer of refreshment.
  • This drink can easily be doubled or tripled for larger gatherings, making it perfect for family parties.
  • If you prefer a lighter drink, dilute the juice with sparkling water.
Storage and Substitutions:

  • Refrigerate any leftover juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days to enjoy fresh flavor.
  • If honey is unavailable, agave syrup or sugar can be used as alternative sweeteners.
Pairings and Complements:

  • This drink pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cheese platters, or mild-flavored cookies such as shortbread.
  • It also complements breakfast items like pancakes or cinnamon rolls for a delicious treat.
