You’re the Apple of the Pie ;)

It’s fall, and that means we’re going to give an  American classic a try! Or is it American? WELL… We’ll find out! 

Also, Julia does NOT like apple pie, so this should be interesting.

It’s not TARDIS, it’s TARDUS (Time and Relative Dimensions UHHHHHHH Space). We’re are super excited to talk about one of our favorite shows: Doctor Who! and try some teas inspired by the main character(s). So excited, in fact, that we forgot to do our How You Brewin’. We’re brewing good, we hope you are too.

We’d like to give our special thanks to JFK. And (psssssst) we want to teach you the secret to always having a good day.

We also take a chaotic quiz (with a very similar energy to the episode) and learn what kind of wine we will be tasting next episode. Come ~WINE~ with us!

This episode is super SWEET! We’re going to talk about Honey! I guess you could say this episode is the bees knees. It’s buzzin’. We’re so excited we’re getting hives. I-... Okay, I think I’m out of bee puns, but I think that was pretty good for just winging it (ha, got another one). Let’s learn about all things honey - How do bees actually make honey? How many bees are even able to make honey? AND, how does honey coffee taste?

RECIPE OF THE DAY

Homemade Crock-pot Apple Cider!

6 quart slow cooker (reduce the amounts for a smaller cooker)

8-10 medium size sweet apples (I like McIntosh, Empire, Golden Delicious, Pink Lady, and Braeburn, do NOT use Red Delicious apples)

1 orange

3 cinnamon sticks

1/2 TBSP whole cloves

2 tsp whole allspice

2 inch knob of fresh ginger (optional)

sweetener of choice, up to 1 cup (granulated sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, or combo)

INSTRUCTIONS

Chop apples and orange into large chunks keeping the peels on.

Put apples, orange, cinnamon, cloves, allspice, ginger in the slow cooker.

Fill the slow cooker with enough water to cover all of the apples. It should fill it pretty much to the brim of the pot.

Turn it on low and put the lid on.

Allow to brew for 8-12 hours. (12 hours is best and even longer would be fine too!)

Take a potato masher and mash all of the apples up. Strain the cider through a fine mesh sieve or through cheesecloth for a more clear cider.

Add sweetener of choice to taste for your sweetness level.

Store left over cider in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

SCONE RECIPE

2 c Flour (250 g)

½ c Sugar

2 ½ tsp Baking Powder

½ tsp Salt

1 Stick Unsalted Butter

1 ½ c Heavy Whipping Cream

1 Egg

Optional:

1 tsp Vanilla

Fruit

½ tsp Lemon extract

1 - 1 ⅓ tsp Lemon zest

2-3 tbsp Coarse Ground Sugar

For savory: reduce sugar by half, add more salt, etc.

Preheat oven to 400°F

While the oven is heating, mix flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until thoroughly combined.

Grate frozen butter over dry ingredients and blend into mixture with a pastry cutter or 2 forks.

Place butter mixture back into the freezer and chill.

In a separate bowl, whisk together egg, heavy whipping cream, vanilla, lemon extract, and lemon zest. Once combined, remove dry ingredients from freezer and slowly stream in wet ingredients. Mix with a fork to combine until a loose shaggy dough forms. DO NOT OVER MIX. If dough is not coming together, knead until combined and place back in the freezer for a few minutes.

Turn dough out onto a floured work surface and form into a rough ball. Flatten into a 8”-10” diameter circle about ¾”-1” thick.

Cut dough into 8 pie wedges and place on a parchment paper lined tray. Add any additional toppings such as fresh or frozen fruit, glazes, etc. Lightly brush each pastry with heavy whipping cream and sprinkle coarse sugar on top.

Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Let rest for 10 minutes and enjoy!

As you may know, Ep 8 (Tea 101) was a whopper. Quite long. Believe it or not, our full conversation was much longer. 

While we are very proud of the completed episode, we were sad to see some parts go. So, we decided that we didn’t have to. This week we’re uploading a bonus episode (much shorter, we promise) from our conversation for Tea 101: What did Iroh do?

Let us know what you think he did (or just say hey):
