Hello all,
After a bit of advice, planing out my next adventure, does this recipe look sound to you ?
I've got some dried hibiscus, just had an experimental tea with it, I think the tartness should do well with a mead, so :
3lbs honey
nutrient
I've got 50 grams of hibiscus, planning to add to boiling water and then let steep for 30 mins.
Mix everything together + water to a gallon.
Then in secondary, mix in some ginger - I've seen 1oz or so recommended, I'm looking for a bit of warmth from this, not an overwhelming hit.
I'm slightly confused over how to handle the hibiscus, I've seen a variety of approaches online - simmer at a set temp for a couple of hours etc. etc.
