fruit t-bag

Any recomendations for a fruit t-bag that makes a good rose/blush ?

Steve, i have just finished a 2 gallon batch of blackcurrant tea bag wine. It is quite dark, but i`m sure it will be a deep rose when it is bottled. I used a 40 pack of tea bags for this, but i got 2 gallon from it. If you were just making 1 gallon the recommend amount of tea bags to use is around 20 you could always use a few less. I must say it is a simple recipe, and the wine looks and smells great. I cant wait to bottle and sample it!

Rosehip and hibiscus

ROSEHIP AND HIBISCUS SOUNDS INTERESTING (oops caps)20 bags and a litre of white grape juice?

[Duffbeer]

Or try the rasperry, cranberry and elderflower recipe here, but add white grape juice instead of red.

Steveb Tell me what did the fruit tea bags wine taste like was it OK

What were the finale ingredients?

Some friend and myself have a evening every now and again, each bring a bottle of wine and we try to guess what it is made of, your tea wine might be a winner

I make quite a few of the rose type tea bag wines, and without exception have found them all to be delicious.
As a rule of thumb, if you like the aroma of the tea bags as they steep in boiling water, then you will most likley like the flavour of the finished wine.

Good luck, but I don't think you'll be disappointed

just the tea bags nothing else?

I use the teabag recipe that has already had the link posted. I bottled a Raspberry and rose tea bag wine today and it tastes divine... I can't wait for it to mature a little, but it should be even nicer come summer.
