I used tea for mead twice, once for Hibiscus and another for mixed berry zinger. So far it's Good 😊

I make a lot of tea blend meads. I have a black current that is amazing and just bottled a chocolate mint today. There are so many good tea blends and they turn out wonderful.

What flavor /brand of tea did you use for both?
@CassiopeiaHughes-mh4bt3 ай бұрын
I’ve used Thai tea before for both tannin and color, it turns the mead a very vibrant bright orange!

Thai tea is black tea with vanilla flavor and yellow dye- very good and iconic look

I made a Moroccan tea mead, with whatever blend of plants they sold me in a market in Marrakech. Some rosehip, some mint and other things. It’s been 8 months or so since I made it and it’s only now starting to mellow out a bit, but still tastes unmistakably like the tea that went into it. Wouldn’t make it again, but with the range of teas out there the possibilities are enormous!

A Rooibos/Clover mead would be great. Rooibos is a sweeter tea I grew up drinking with a teaspoon of honey in it. May have to get this recipe on the go! :)

I would love to see a video on you mixing your 2 favorite yeast together in one batch to see if it makes a better tasting mead. I can't find any videos on the subject of mixing 2 yeast together. Love the videos you make and hope to see more.

If you want a stronger tea flavour, loose leaf black tea at near boiling is the way to go.

I've been meaning to try a tea mead. I hear of people getting surprising fruity flavors sometimes. You mentioned the yeast being excited when you add fermaid. Do you think they react so quickly? I always assumed it was the fermaid providing nucleation sites to the CO2 in solution, like mentos in diet coke.
@ManMadeMead3 ай бұрын
Generally the brew just puts out CO2 from solution like coke and mentos when you do that. I don't necessarily think the yeast get super excited haha

I wonder if I could just make a base batch of mead and then bottle with a teabag and some controls too turn down the flavor if leaving it there too much time is overpowering. I mean, would it make a difference in doing it like that or before fermentation?
@Damiancontursi3 ай бұрын
Another thing I wonder is if when back-sweetening, does it really make a difference if I use cheap honey for fermentation and some better quality when back-sweetening? I believe if you are not an expert you wouldn't really taste a difference, less so if you add some flavor like the teas in the video or some fruit, or tanning or co2.
@ManMadeMead3 ай бұрын
I think leaving a tea bag in a container would be too much exposure to a flavor. Backsweetening honey is probably the most tasted honey! I’d use a higher quality kind if you can

This looks great. By reducing the OG could this be keg and carbonated. As I am in Australia I can not get red star yeast. What would be a good substitute.
@ManMadeMead3 ай бұрын
Any lalvin yeast or even an ale yeast could work here!

Was the tea you used cafenated? Does the cafein survive fermentation?
@ethanhohensee71273 ай бұрын
The tea he used was an herbal tea that contains no actual tea leaves. There was no caffeine.
