Other suitable things for winemaking.
As I have said, wine can be made from more or less anything, provided it
doesn't kill you. The following is a list of things that don't fit into other
catagories.
- Coffee. Sounds odd, but it can be quite nice. Weak works better but either instant
or real can be used. DON'T make it too sweet. (bleaugh!)
- Tea. Use ordinary tea, or try the infinite varieties of flavoured teas.
Dont use too much of these. The resulting wine can become too fruity. There is a danger too that it will end up smelling like a sewer (bleaugh!)
- Parsley. Fresh or dried.
- Coriander. Get bundles of it from Indian food shops.
- Oak Leaves Or Walnut leaves.
- Nettle. Unusual to say the least.
- Pea pod Curiouser and curiouser said Alice.
- Grain includes wheat, barley, rye and rice. Often added to other
wines to add body.
- Tulip bulbs Alledgedly contains opium, but don't quote me.
