I do not have a scoby but iv been curious.as to what fermented tea would taste like so I made some similar to the way I make wine.
2cups suger
1gal strong black tea
1/2 pound raisons
I mixed them together in my carboy
Fermentation peaked at 72 hours ended after 9 days at 1 bubble every 2 min.
I placed the brew in my fridge to speed clearing, it was clear after 5 days went from black to a light tan color.
I decided against aging since Iv no clue how well it will age nor did want to wait .
roughly 11% abv
The flavor is nothing like tea however very pleasant and hard to discribe.
It has a faint tea/nutty aftertaste
All in all I'd call this experiment successful and will be making more.
If I can find a scoby I'll try making it correctly
