Cranberry and Apple Hot Smoothie

• servings: 1 serving
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

20 g (2 1/2 tbsp) dried cranberries

1/4 tsp cinnamon

6 g (1cm) cubed piece of ginger (peeled and chopped finely)

350 ml (1 1/2 cups minus 1 tbsp) just boiled water

1 sweet dessert apple (I like to use Jazz apples, chopped)

Directions

Place your dried cranberries, cinnamon and ginger into a cup and add 150ml of boiling water. Give it a stir and leave to steep for 7-8 minutes.

Place the cranberry mix and the chopped apple in your smoothie maker. Add in a splash of cold water if you think the liquid is too warm (see warning above about hot liquids and smoothie makers).

Blend on high for a minute or two until the cranberries and ginger have been incorporated.

Pour your smoothie into a cup and mix in the remaining 200ml just boiled water.

Drink as is, or you can put in the microwave for 30 seconds to heat a little more if required.
