Bring some water up to just below boiling point, then pour 100ml (31/2oz) over the tea. Leave to infuse for three minutes and strain. Return the leaves to their bowl and pour on a further 100ml water. Infuse for three minutes and strain.
Place a further 100ml water in a pan with the sugar and lemon zest. Bring to the boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved. Simmer gently for 10 minutes until it forms a syrup. Strain into the tea in the bowl.
Meanwhile, pour the lemon juice into a separate bowl and toss the apple in it. Tip into the warm tea syrup. Once it is tepid, mix in the fruit and serve.
