A friend is currently attempting to motorize my grain mill, which rules out brewing any beer this weekend. I decided to do another mead instead, to keep in practice. Being a fan of Indian food, when I ran across a recipe for a Rooibos Chai Metheglin (metheglin is mead that includes spices) I decided it sounded like a good option. While that recipe used plain Rooibos tea and spices, I'm going to use Rooibos tea bags which already contain a blend of Chai spices. Will it make as good a mead? We'll find out. Ingredients 2.5 pounds Clover Honey 3/4 teaspoon Yeast Nutrient 1/4 teaspoon Yeast Energizer 4 teabags of Rooibos Chai Tea 1 packet Montrachet Wine Yeast 1 gallon of water Brewing Place one gallon of water in a stock pot and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes to sterilize and remove chlorine. Steep the tea bags in the water while adding the honey, yeast nutrient, and yeast energizer. Meanwhile, rehydrate the wine yeast. Chill
