How to Make Tea Wine. Tea Wine was very popular as a homebrew until grapes became more popular for wine making. The method for tea wine is super easy. Tea Wine requires few ingredients, and very little equipment. The cost to make tea wine is very low as well. Sugar and tea are pretty inexpensive these days.
This is not to be confused with kombucha. Kombucha is very different, and uses a different method and will not have something in the neighborhood of 12% alcohol!
We say this all the time, but... it bears repeating. If you want to make this, go right ahead, and we encourage that. But, at least the first time, do exactly what we did. That way if you encounter issues, we can help. Tea Wine is pretty simple and because of that, changing the sugar, the tea, or the yeast would have a huge impact on your results as opposed to what we got in our tea wine. It's important.

I do love tea wine! Only here in the UK we tend to like our tea wine the way we like our tea, well brewed! Only 6 teabags??? 12 and brewed for at least an hour, if not over night :) A classic flavour to add to your tea wine, just to give it a bit more of a traditional hint would be *MORE TEA!*

Earl Grey would give citrus notes... there's nothing chocolate or dark fruit in there... strange.

CS Brews yeah really strange I am not even a chocolate fan. But when I gave it to my girlfriend to try (to check that I was not going insane lol) she gave me the same notes and ask me if I added some chocolate to it. She didn’t smelled it so much as me but she could definitely taste it.

Want to share something I discovered. Not sure how other cities are, but my small city, in Wisconsin, has one location that everyone can drop off their recycling materials glass, plastics, paper, ect. I asked if I could look through the bin of glass. To my surprise I found 4 - 1 gallon wine jars and 2 - 3 letter wine jars! 🤗 Brought them home and washed them up. Now the wife thinks I am really crazy. 😀 But hay, they are free! Might be a great option if your city has that service.

@paulacheson12 3 года назад

I tried this recipe and it's good. Really sweet. I tried with Fleischman Active Dry Yeast and EC-1118. I prefer the bread yeast one. The Champagne yeast came out really strong, didnt notice until the two day hangover. So I just finished making a 5 Gallon batch with 4kg of sugar, because that's all I had on hand. I will update when that one is done. I love this channel, Thank you so much.

@SolidXerm 4 года назад

On the topic of flavouring or spicing this wine; I'd suggest some interesting herbs traditionally used in brewing such as yarrow, elderflowers, meadowsweet or saint john's wort. You should be able to get these as dried herbal teas at all times of the year and I find that they go really nicely with meads on the sweeter end of the spectrum. Perhaps they'd go nice with this wine too. Lavander and star anise are more risqué suggestions, but fortune favours the brave - With the first lineup of herbs, I usually make a mixture of ten grams per five litres. Lavander and star anise are things I am more careful with, as in my experience they can easily overpower other flavours. Of these, I tend to use five grams of the former and one or two full pods of the latter.

@Nassberry 4 года назад

I've made two similar wines in the past. One was with lemon verbena and ginger, and the other one was with lemon verbena, ginger and lemon grass. They both tasted great! The one containing lemon grass was a bit sharp at the beginning, but it ended up being really smooth 4 months after making it. Perhaps you could do some experiments with getting a lemon flavoured brew without using actual lemon since lemon has a tendency to slow down fermentation? (Speaking from both own experience as well as your video on ginger beer) Really appreciate the videos that you guys are making, keep up the good work!

@Kinnamon100 4 года назад

Made an Earl Grey tea mead back in 2016. At first I did not like it , and even thought about pouring it down the sink. I bottled it, and didn't touch it again until about two or three months ago. Man was not pleasantly surprised. Patience is the name of the game.

@dannyboy42223 4 года назад

Perfect timing, made a drink with Bengal spice, maple syrup, honey, molasses. Overall friends liked it. After 2 weeks ferment and 3 weeks bottling. Did only 1070 OG and came out to 7% abv with bread yeast

I second the peach flavor for tea. A thought came to me too that when I was vacationing in Nashville before the world went upside down. I had a fruit tea at a restaurant that was amazing.

I could see this flavored with some kind of dark berry or something light and floral. Blackberry? Lavender? Not sure I'd do both in the same batch, but as different variants it might be nice. Or you could go the quintessential sweet tea route and give it a dash of lemon juice.

don't shake the jug to dissolve the sugar. hold it sideways in one hand and twist it back and forth to slosh the tea around. works very well no matter how much air space you have.

You might want to try making the tea with lukewarm water and letting it sit at room temperature over night. Results probably vary depending on the type of tea, but using cooler water generally results in less bitterness.

not too long ago, I used two types of tea separately as the main flavoring for 2 meads. Peach tea, and Vanilla Chai tea. Came out pretty damn good. Gave the Vanilla chai to a friend, and it was loved. On a side note, I took a test sample of my cherry/concord grape mead... it stopped fermenting at 1.050. Tasted good, still has a little more time to go to clear all the way, on its own.

@MatoNupai 4 года назад

Brian; wines are made from some kind of juice. Some call that an alcohol or sugar wash. 50 years ago I started with bread yeast then as I gained experience moved to more complexity with tools and wine yeast. The wine yeast give more complex flavor but now all I use is bread yeast. Yes I miss those complex flavors but I DO NOT MISS THE ODOR OF STINKY FEET, and the neighbors complaining about the negative aroma. Since I have Crohn's disease I brew wine for its probiotic benefits to keep the gut biome healthy. Red wine has a probiotic P.pentosaceus CIAL-86 that sort of armor plates the intestines. It actually seeks and sticks to the intestinal walls to protect you from pathogens like e.coli, salmonella, and others. That probiotic is UNIQUE to red wine.

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

Legal definition of wines would include this.... let's not get into semantics, lol. Never once have I had a neighbor complain about my fermenting. We can't even smell them in the next room, and most times, there is no smell EVEN IN THE SAME room, so.... I don't understand what you're talking about there. Yep, wines are probiotic and good for you to a certain extent.

@MatoNupai 4 года назад

You were lucky. I lived in an apartment complex in Washington state and neighbors were always complaining about what I cooked, brewing wine with Montrachet yeast, even burning incense as an air freshener after frying a steak or Salmon fillet.

What about green tea and fresh red hibiscus flowers? I do that with my kombucha and it's really delicious. Just remove all the green parts and the stem from the hibiscus blossom and add the petals to the green tea. When you poor the hot water your tea color turns into a beautiful red . I use 10 blossoms per liter for my kombucha. Another question I have.....Have you ever tried fresh sugar cane juice as a base to make wine instead of water and sugar?

Hey Brian and Derica, I recently saw your video about Tea Wine. My personal preference for tea is Yorkshire from Harrogate. Since my wife is English and I was stationed in Warrington, Lancashire for a couple of years I do have a preference in my tea. Anyway, I was intrigued by the idea of tea wine and decided to make it. The only thing I did different was to add the zest and juice of one lemon. It only took about an hour and a half for it to start, At this point it’s five hours in and going steady. I’ll try and remember to fill you in on how it comes out.

@dvdcrmn 7 месяцев назад

I have a suggestion for a short video. I have a batch at 6 months and it had some sediment appear out of nowhere. Did some research and found the purpose of decanters is to pour your wine into it leaving the Mead in the original bottle...

Just had a gallon clear after 4 months and have been drinking it over the past couple weeks. Made it from plain Lipton tea and lemon. Used EC-1118 and took it out to 17%. It's got a pretty good kick, but the heat is lower than would be expected from 17% ABV. I believe this may be because of the lemon.

Could you have also mixed the sugar into the tea in the pitcher before it cooled?

Sure. Doesn't get as much oxygen into the must that way, but it can be done. You want to introduce oxygen at this stage.

I've made Green Tea and Lemon Mead, taste great, wine should be similar

It could be because I am in the mood for blueberry muffins and tea. Blueberries are just coming to mind as a flavoring .

Sounds good to me!

My favorite tea is a black tea with pomegranate raspberry apple and sage. I’ve actually been formulating a tea wine with these elements but I haven’t quite figured out how much sage I wanna put in it and if I should put it in the primary or in conditioning.

@CitySteadingBrews 4 года назад

I'd offer help, but this is my first tea wine, so.... not sure yet.

CS Brews lol no worries! I’ll figure it out when the time comes :)

Since we live in Florida I think a bit of added orange peel would be great.

I can taste the paper with tea bag tea. Oddly I cant taste the paper in coffee made with paper filters. You should try loose leaf tea next time and filter via a cloth or something.
