This tea is a great way to use up leftover apples. I had a few apples that were starting to go bad, so I decided to make this tea. It turned out great!

I followed the recipe exactly and the tea turned out great. It was a little too sweet for my taste, so next time I'll use less sugar.

The tea was easy to make and didn't require any special ingredients. I used green apples and they worked perfectly.
