Laravel 5.4 Mailables adding email addresses together - laravel

Question

Consider this sample of code that takes an array of addresses and sends each of them an email using the mailables feature.
//In my controller
$email = new EmailToWinners($sender_name, $letter);
foreach ($recipients as $recipient){
Mail::to($recipient)->send($email);
}
//In my App\Mail\EmailToWinner
public function build()
{
return $this->view('emails.winner-email');
}
The emails all get sent fine but when I was testing this I noticed, it's stacking the emails up.
So I get this in the logs.

If you look at the emails. The first email shows to
1#example.com
The second shows to
1#example.com, 2#example.com
The third shows 1#example.com, 2#example.com, 3#example.com
So the first person gets 3 emails.
What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

You can pass to to method a collection of users:
Mail::to($recipients)->send(new EmailToWinners());
From Lavavel Mail Docs:
The to method accepts an email address, a user instance, or a collection of users. If you pass an object or collection of objects, the mailer will automatically use their email and name properties when setting the email recipients, so make sure these attributes are available on your objects

Answer 2

I think you need to make a new email object for each recipient like this.
foreach ($recipients as $recipient){
Mail::to('$recipient')->send(new EmailToWinners($sender_name, $letter));
}
