It sounds strange to make wine from tea, but apparently this is quite delicious and doesn't taste like tea at all. I haven’t made this since I don’t drink but it was in my files.

Ingredients
  • 4 pints cold tea
  • 2 lb granulated sugar
  • ½ lb raisins
  • 2 lemons

Directions
  1. Cut the raisins and slice the lemons thinly, and put them in a large bowl or jug. Add sugar, pour on cold tea. Stir till the sugar has dissolved, cover the bowl or jug and leave it for a month.
  2. You will find a scum on top; remove this carefully, strain off the liquid and bottle.
  3. Is best when kept a few months to age. Keep it in a cool dark place.

I'm going to try this. I make my own wine...from a kit, but still alot of fun. It bubbles and smells up the entire house. Awesome! Thanks again for another great recipe. Renee


I can't wait to try this, is sound like fun if nothing else!


Sounds very different! :)


I am definately going to bite! You say simply to use cold tea - Would using flavoured herbal teas also work?


Tried this, and it did taste fantastic. It was actually quite sweet. The scum did make it into my batch, but only slightly. Be very careful when you break the surface pressure between the scum and the "tea". Excellent addition and the easiest wine to make. I would recommend this as a beginners introduction to homemade spirits. Thanks for the post! Oh, I'm going to try some oranges in my next batch... will let you know.


This looks like fun! thanks!


Just put together a batch of this. I sure do hope it turns out good. I will post the results :)
