tea in my air fryer.

Whoa! Brewing tea directly in an air fryer isn’t really how air fryers work—they’re designed to circulate hot air to crisp or cook food, not to steep liquids. Putting water in an air fryer could be dangerous and damage it. 😅

But don’t worry! You can make a tea-inspired snack or infusion using an air fryer. Here are a couple of safe ways:

1️⃣ Tea-Infused Air-Fried Apples or Pears (safe & tasty)

Ingredients:

• 1–2 apples or pears, sliced

• 1 tsp loose black tea leaves

• 1 tsp honey or sugar

• 1 tsp cinnamon

• Optional: a few drops of lemon juice

Instructions:

1. Sprinkle tea leaves over the fruit slices.

2. Toss with honey/sugar and cinnamon.

3. Place in air fryer basket at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway.

4. Fruit comes out soft, caramelized, and lightly tea-flavored!

2️⃣ Tea Air-Fryer Biscuit or Cookie Coating

• Grind dried tea leaves and mix into sugar.

• Brush melted butter on cookies or biscuits.

• Sprinkle the tea-sugar mixture on top and air fry at 320°F (160°C) until golden.

✅ Important safety tip:
Never put water or tea directly in the air fryer basket—it can ruin the appliance or cause burns.

If you want, I can give a step-by-step recipe for making a real tea drink and then turning it into an air-fryer snack—like tea-flavored churros or biscuits. That’s super fun and safe!
