This warming Turkish winter drink is made by caramelizing quince slices in an air fryer, then simmering them with cinnamon and hot pepper. Roasting concentrates the quince’s sweetness.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the quince

10 min

Peel the quince and cut it into thin slices.

2

Roast in the air fryer

15 min

Arrange the quince slices in the air fryer basket and roast at 190°C / 375°F for 15 minutes, until the edges are caramelized. If you do not have an air fryer, roast them in an oven preheated to the same temperature.

3

Simmer

20 min

Put the roasted quince in a pot with the water, cinnamon stick, and Turkish red pepper flakes. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

4

Strain and serve

5 min

Strain the mixture, stir in the honey, and serve hot.

Reminder

If you do not have an air fryer, roast the quince slices in an oven preheated to 190°C / 375°F for the same amount of time.

Ayvayı airfryerda kavurunca ev bal kokusuyla doldu, 15 dakika tam yeterliydi, acı biberin dozu da güzel dengeliydi.
