This weekend I will be making 4, 1-gallon batches using a variety of teas from Teavana. Some of the ingredients for the "Herbal Teas" sound interesting, and to have them already expertly blended should be helpful.
WILD ORANGE BLOSSOM HERBAL TEA, Ingredients:Apple pieces, hibiscus flowers, rosehip peels, beetroot pieces, citrus peels, citrus slices, flavoring (orange, grapefruit), orange blossom petals, orange juice pulp bits, sunflower petals, pomegranate blossoms, rose petals
ZOCOLATTE SPICE HERBAL TEA, Cocoa kernels, chicory root, cloves, ginger, green cardamom fruit, cinnamon, coconut chips, brazil pepper
SWISS VERVAINE MELANGE HERBAL TEA, Vervaine, apple pieces, carrot pieces, orange peels, ginger pieces, marshmallow leaves, peppermint, green rooibos, candied papaya (papaya, sugar), rosebuds, raisins, mallow blossoms, passion flower petals, flavoring (blood orange, peach) peach pieces, sunflower blossoms
My plan is to make ~1/2 gallon of each herbal tea(depends on strength tea), let it cool mix in honey water mixture to reach 1.25 gallons & SG 1.103, and proceed with normal ferment practices.
thoughts on yeast? im thinking trusty D47
