How to Enjoy KOTSAM Apple Tea

KOTSAM Apple has a sweet, fresh fruit flavor and pieces of apple. Enjoy it throughout the year, warm or chilled.

Hot or cold

For a hot or cold drink, stir one spoonful (35 g) of concentrate into 250 ml water. Adjust the water to taste; optionally add honey or lemon. For a chilled drink, add ice and fresh fruit.

Ideas for the kitchen

Use the concentrate as a spread with bread or desserts, in gingerbread, macarons or cake batter, or in smoothies, yogurt, salad dressings, sauces and marinades.

Apple Highball

Ingredients

• 2–3 tbsp KOTSAM Apple Tea
• 40 ml bourbon, whisky or rum, optional; omit for an alcohol-free version
• Soda, tonic, sparkling water or ginger ale
• Ice cubes or crushed ice
• Apple slices, a cinnamon stick, mint or rosemary for garnish

Method

1. Fill a tall highball or Collins glass to the rim with ice.
2. Add the apple concentrate and, if using, 40 ml spirit.
3. Top up with soda, tonic, sparkling water or ginger ale.
4. Stir gently to combine without losing the bubbles.

Serving tips

The cinnamon stick can also be used as a stirrer, adding a gentle cinnamon note. Serve the highball cold; the basic apple drink can be served hot or cold.
