Can you make Coltsfoot Tea Wine?

[Wynott]

I sent off for some dried Coltsfoot, to make wine with but made a mistake and ordered Coltsfoot Tea instead

I have made some Tea wine previously, using ordinary tea/bags but not herbs.

Does anyone know whether this might be suitable? I've got plenty of the stuff!

I found a recipe using fresh:

So all you need to know is the change in weight from fresh to dried?

Assuming the tea is only coltsfoot and not coltsfoot plus tea leaves?

Hi, thanks for this. Thinking it through, this recipe, like some others I've made (Dandelion, Marigold, etc) uses the heads of the flowers only, and what I have here is Coltsfoot Tea, which is the leaves. The flavour in the flower wines came from the petals, and you could smell it when making the wine.

Think I'll stick to using the leaves as tea, and get the order right next time.
