I happened to be at CVS this evening and I saw a 1 gallon bottle of Arizona Sweet Tea for about $3, when I got home I added 1 and 1/3 cup of regular table sugar and 1 and 1/3 cup of brown sugar to the Tea (after removing about 1 pint glass full to create some head room), shook it up then added some bakers yeast and shook the jug again. I put a plastic sandwich bag over the top of the jug then tightened the lid over the bag and placed the jug in a dark cabinet to ferment for 2 weeks.
The Sweet Tea is pretty delicious and has a strong "Tea" flavor to it because it is made with black tea, I am curious to see how the "Tea" taste transforms after fermentation. I have no real expectations with this project, its merely an experiment using high fructose corn syrup.
I will update in 2 weeks. In the mean time has anyone tried this before?
