Green Tea Wine Recipe - St. Patricks Day Wine

So obviously I had to make this WAY before I submit this recipe because I had to get the wine done before St. Patricks Day. This recipe was also handed to me when I had visited Japan. Its actually not that hard to do. You can also adjust this the way you want. I like my wine sweet but still have a bitter edge too it.

And drink wisely and be safe! Not just on St. Patricks Day but everytime you go out for drinks!

Btw, if the wine doesn't come out green enough, just add green food coloring too it.

DIRECTIONS:

Boil water and pour over all ingredients but yeast (in primary). When water cools to under 100 degrees F., add activated yeast. When specific gravity drops to 1.015-1.010, strain tea and zest. Transfer liquid to secondary and attach airlock. Ferment to dryness, rack, top up and reaffix airlock. Stabilize when clear. Wait 30 days, sweeten if desired and rack into bottles. Allow 3-6 months to smooth out.
