Newbie here, this is my first foray into non-kit wine ...
Just using things up from my kitchen cupboard, surfed the net and improvised... :pray:
Tea & Raisin Wine
500g raisins - chopped
6 teaspoons Asda loose tea (use by date October 2011 but it still makes a nice cup of tea, so hope this will be ok lol)
200g left over honey from various jars
600g sugar
Juice from 1 unwaxed lemon
1 campden tablet
1 tsp Youngs Super Yeast
Total Cost: About £1.70 for 1 gallon
Simmered raisins and tea for 30mins before putting into demi & pitching yeast. It's currently a very dark brown stewed tea without milk colour... :grin:
No gravity measurement taken as I can't find my trial jar
