Apple, Apricot Kernels & Snow Fungus Tea

Let's have some homemade cooling tea to beat this warm weather! Serve this to kids rather than unhealthy packed fruit juice, which I rarely give my kids :) Homemade fruit juice? I rarely made this too as all the fibre are being separated after processed, basically drinking 'sugar' >0< So plain water is the best! hahaha
