Save those peels!
You can make a delicious tea.
Apple Honey Tea
~6 apple peels
3-4 C water
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 T honey
1 T lemon juice
Place apple peels in a sauce pan. Cover with water and lemon juice and cinnamon.
Bring to a boil for 10-15 minutes, until liquid is colorful and appley.
Your house will smell amazing during this process too :)
Strain out the apple peels.
Then, add in the honey. Taste... add additional honey or cinnamon to taste.
You can pour the whole batch into a crockpot to keep warm!
Or, to make ahead for a frugal holiday party beverage, just boil the apple peels and then freeze the liquid. Add to your crockpot about 3 hours before serving, and heat through adding lemon, honey and cinnamon to taste. Serve warm from the crockpot.
