Tea Wine

[MedPretzel]

Well, it's worth a try. I haven't had any problems since I started to say that it's perfume. You might also try sending "marinade" and you wouldn't be lying either.

 

[Hippie]

LOL. Gotcha. I will have to try at least.I might not get the warning this time.

Where do i get on the mailing list!

 

[Hippie]

Now see what you started Martina?

 

[MedPretzel]

Hahhahaha,





You need to get those 189 ml bottles and send a sampler. It seems to be working very well for me so far. Lots of different wines in one little package.

 

[Hippie]

I have some Rotgut in 2 tiny little bottles. Anybody want some?

 

[MedPretzel]

Man, that is WRONG! You need to do that with the Scuppernog!!!

 

[Hippie]

...nong. Scuppernong. Thanks. You are making my OCD go nuts.

 

[MedPretzel]

ScupperNONG. That's what I meant!

 

[Hippie]

How bout that tea wine. Is it clearing yet?

 

[MedPretzel]

nope. still as cloudy as it was.

Med,

If I get my pic posting right I will
post you a pic of mine. It looks like a Bourbon whisky. I just don't
think it will have the same kick lol. I don't know if my using fresh
brewed tea made a difference or not though. All the recipes I have seen
call for instant. I just don't like instant, so made my own recipe. I
hope I gets better with age though. When I tasted a about a month ago I
didn't care for it but age helps any wine (imao).

Yes, Chris it helps to a point depending on the chemistry in that wine.

Well, so far the chamomile tea wine is disappointing. I started it either a couple of days before or a couple of days after christmas. It smelled so nice when I started it, but it seems to have lost all it's aroma as well. I really haven't tasted it, but it seems a little .... boring (I know, what can you expect, the tea tastes boring too)....





Oh well. I hope it will turn out eventually.

 

[Hippie]

Boring is a common wine dilemma. Usually calls for either sweetening up, adding acid, or blending.

I posted a pic of my tea wine in the wine photos. Sorry for the quality of the pic.

How is the tea prepared, you boil the tea bags, or let "Mother Nature" do a sun tea? I noticed a extreme taste difference between the two. (This is in reference to just tea in itself, not finished wine)

 

[greenbean]

I took fresh brewed tea,sultana's (for body), and lemon peal. That is not counting yeast nutrient ect..

 

[Maui Joe]

I'm not familiar with that brand, is that from a Health Food store or a "speciality shop?"

 

[greenbean]

Sultana is just another word for golden raisen. I us Sunmaid brand.
