Cómo preparar Apple Tea
- Wash and peel approximately 3-4 large apples (about 2 cups worth of peels).
- Sprinkle the apple peels generously with 2 tablespoons of fresh lemon juice. This helps prevent browning and adds a bright citrus note.
- Preheat oven to 170°F (77°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange the lemon-treated apple peels in a single layer on the baking sheet. Leave the oven door slightly ajar (use a wooden spoon to prop it open) to allow moisture to escape.
- Dry the apple peels in the low oven for approximately 12-18 hours, or until they are brittle, lightly browned, and easily crumble.
- Alternatively, use a food dehydrator following the manufacturer's instructions for drying fruit peels. This may take 10-12 hours.
- Once completely dry and brittle, carefully crumble the apple peels using your fingers or a food processor.
- Store the crumbled apple peels in an airtight container in a cool, dark place. They will keep for several months.
- To make apple tea, add 1-2 tablespoons of the crumbled apple peels to a cup of hot (not boiling) water. Steep for 5-10 minutes before enjoying. You can add honey or other sweeteners to taste.
