Right?! I don't usually peel apples and pears but I might a little bit just to make tea. Though I could also cut some of one into tiny bits.

I've been adding whatever citrus peel I happen to have into the infuser with the tea.
This peel was a few days old and the peppermint overpowered it but I think they'll make a nice combo if I can get more of the orange flavor from the peel.
I'm going to try apples or pears if I rememberto peel 1.

Donna Summer's Macarthur Park ought to be top of every 70s classics list!
I recently had my yearly dose of it. (It's the "birthday song" that one of my tías sings/plays for me on my birthday.) Glad no one left my cake out.
