All natural earl grey juice!

submitted almost 11 years ago by scott_sunnyd23

A week ago i asked yall for help with making an all natural earl grey tea extraction in vg! Well after letting it steep for a week it's finished! 4 tea bags in 100ml of vg. I tore the bags open then let it sit for a week. After that i filtered out the leaves. Its a pretty strong extaction i use about 10-15% and its amazing! Thank you DIY!

Is it still extremely perfume-y?, or is it more like a regular black tea?

It definitely has a strong smell but it has a great taste!

Sadness. That is the one thing that keeps me from enjoying it.

I mean its tolerable the heated vg extraction is seeming to not be as strong smelling but its only the second day of steeping. Maybe give that a try?

Let me know if you do! I am working on another way where i heated up the vg then put the tea leaves in. It already seems to be taking to it better then the long soak. still going to lwt sit for a couple days though.

That is actually closer to the way i was planning on trying it. I have a mini crock pot i was gonna throw it all in their and simmer on low for 5-6 hours a day for a week.

Simmer water in the crock pot with your mix in a jar, don't actually put the VG/PG + tea in the crock pot. You'll wind up with burnt tasting tea if you do.
