Nothing to apologize for at all, just a thing you don't yet know. Happy to share some info, especially since my previous remarks are surely beyond cryptic without that knowledge.
A compost tea can be anything from steeping/soaking actual finished compost in water with which you intend to water thirsty plants, to steeping/soaking a single item, like coffee grounds, corn cobs, pulled weeds (one of my favs, makes that more worthwhile and important!), or whatever you have available.
This reminds me about "banana water" too. Pureรฉ whole bananas or the peels, dilute into plant-watering water. I usually only do that outside since I don't strain out the pureรฉd bits, and never measure anything, just try to dilute enough to give some to each of my pots. Banana water has done more "wow" things for my plants than any fertilizer I've tried.
I prefer these kinds of things because I've killed plants before by getting carried away into unbridled enthusiasm and lazy measuring with fabricated, packaged fertilizers. If a little is good, more would be great, right? Wrong.
Have you investigated vermicomposting? I've seen many anecdotes about that working well for those without somewhere to compost outside.
