1. Bring water to a boil in a teakettle. Put tea leaves in a deep, heatproof bowl or large teapot. As soon as water begins to boil, pour over tea leaves; stir and let stand 4 minutes.
2. Put lemons, apples and cinnamon in a pitcher. Strain tea through a fine wire-mesh sieve or coffee filter over fruit. Let steep at least 10 minutes before serving. Sweeten to taste and serve over ice. Serves 10.
