I have a standard go-to hot tea mix I drink in the fall & winter. It's called Russian Tea or in some places Friendship Tea.
It's an instant mix that's added to hot water & isn't alcoholic. You can see the original recipe here: http://www.food.com/recipe/russian-friendship-tea-mix-16632
I'd like the same flavor in a Hard Tea. I can add lemonade concentrate for the lemon flavor. I've never added orange to any fermentation that I've done so far. Should I add orange juice concentrate? Or whole oranges?? Not sure what's best to get that lovely "Tang" flavor.
Here's what I'm thinking:
Sunday Drive Spiced Tea
5 Gallon Batch
50-75 Tea Bags
2-4 Cans Frozen Lemonade Concentrate
2-4 Cans Frozen Orange Juice??? or Whole Oranges
6 Cups Sugar
Water to 5 Gallons
Yeast Nutrient & Yeast Energizer
Potassium Bicarbonate
1 T. Cinnamon
2 t. Allspice
1 t. Cloves
EC-1118
