Chris, much thanks for sharing..I will look for it in the store to try.

I did not use raisins, light or dark. I guess that's why it's boring.

Here's a picture of my chamomile tea wine...

Looks like the color is going to be real nice. I hope it taste better than mine

. I would liken mine to peeing in a bottle and letting it set in the sun for a month, not what you would call good

. Maybe next time.

Mr Greenbean-Greenjeans,

I had a taste of my cham-tea wine and you've hit the nail right on the head with your description.





Actually, it tastes like pee with a high alcohol taste. More like Schnapps than wine. Because the basement is the only place that is bearable at the moment, I spent a little more time there yesterday, and decided to oak the cham-tea wine. Maybe that will help a little!!

Oh well, at least I tried. If I didn't, I would never have known.

Interesting thread on the Tea wine,i make this quite alot but have never had any problems regarding clearing whatsoever,but then again i don't expect it to be bottled within 6 months either or to be comsumed within 2yrs,a true Tea wine should be more like "sherry" dark in colour,basically the complete opposite of the above picture,I dont mean to patronise,but what recipe were you following ??

I followed, I believe the recipe in Terry Garey's bood. It is a chamomile tea wine, which was lighter anyway than, oh say, peppermint or black tea.
