Must:

• 14 tea bags
• 3kg sugar
• 3 pkg raisins (individual serving size—maybe 15g total)
• 3 pinches Dried orange peel
• 1/2 package 71B yeast

Read that the strength of the tea should be approximately how you would normally drink it so I made the tea in the teapot how I normally would (approx. 1 teabag in 900ml-1 litre steeped for 10 minutes).

Added 1kg sugar, 1 pkg raisins, and 1 pinch dried orange peel to a 1 gallon pot and filled with tea, one small teapot at a time (a bit less than 1L). Let the pot cool before adding to fermentor and repeated 3 times to make 3 gallons total. Topped up with unsweetened black tea.

Note: I spilled a fair amount of the sweet tea so would have to use a bit less sugar than 3kg if attempting to recreate this recipe. 

Additions:

• lemon juice in secondary?
• yeast nutrient/energizer as needed
