Thanks for posting this! I just gave it a try tonight trying to make a dinner for my wife and it was a hit. Despite the fact I had to fudge it some… Had no pineapple so doubled up on apples. And had no white wine so used half-Lillet/half-water, and had no apple tea, but had a green tea that smelled pretty fruity. Nevertheless, it turned out great. Never eaten tea before… Thanks!
