Earl grey, like the bergamot.

Two gallons made, method for each dj.

10 earl grey tea bags... boiling water and steep for a few min's - bags then removed.
1 kg of sugar into dj, juice of 2 lemons and 1/2 an orange onto sugar.
Remains of peel and pith into tea and boiled for 5 min's, strained and poured onto sugar and dissolved sugar. (dj warmed first to help prevent shatter, still happened to break occassionally)
1/2 tsp of pectolase, 1 heaped tsp of wilkcos nutrient (as not much nutrient in the tea), 1 tsp of ysy compound.

Still managed to get a couple of pips in each dj and was careful. Fermenting away.
 
Racked both dj's today, forgot about them, onto a camden. Tastes good each dj has it's own differnt taste one did have a few lemon pips actually added to the flavour..lol Both had cleared but needed to rack because of pips, bit of orange and lemon floating in there and a fair amount of sediment.
 
Bottled yesterday. One dj darker than the other, but the lighter one is nicer. Wish I'd picked some gorse flowers to add to the wine at start.
