4 bags of chai or black tea
3-4 Honey Crisp apple peels (while Honeycrisp is the variety listed- Fuji & Pink Lady are also good choices!)
1-2 tsp. of hot honey (Always use locally sourced honey when you can! It makes a difference! It's also the most natural immune booster there is!!)

In a medium pot, bring the water to a boil, and then add the tea bags.
Next, add the apple peels, honey, and cinnamon sticks. Allow this aromatic concoction to simmer for about 5 minutes, letting the flavors meld together in harmony.
