You don't make 'tea' in such a manner or with raw fruit or fruit peels. If anything, the fruit peels or by-products should be composted first, as microbes will be able to break down the sugars, starches, and other more complex compounds into simpler fragments and, ultimately, plant usable nutrients.

AACT or actively aerated compost tea is made by aerating a solution with compost, humus or earthworm castings (e.g. with an aquarium air pump\stone) along with blackstrap molasses as a carbohydrate\mineral source; so the beneficial microbes proliferate. Other ingredients such as guano and meals (kelp meal, alfalfa meal), etc may be added as well.

I use bone meal in the soil before I plant and I also use it as a top dressing along with Earthworm castings it breaks down so slowly that it's not worth putting in a tea. That and I've been using molasses every other watering.
