Hadn't been to a Renaissance Festival in decades until this year. Had a taste of the Egyptian mead from J Bird Winery. Located in Stanchfield MN, it is one of two places to purchase local mead. The only other I found is in Detroit Lakes. Please speak up if you know of any more. Anyhoo, there is no Egyptian style listed in wikipedia or this website. It's made with Hibiscus and lemon juice. Would it then be called a Metheglin???

Never worked with tea before. I was going to make a 3 gallon batch of traditional and then add Celestial Seasonings Red Zinger and lemon juice. On average, how many individual packets of tea do you add to a gallon?... without me having to sip each time to get it right... Looks like I answered my own question.

Has anyone made a better Egyptian? Please send me the link.

Seen mention of others using those red zinger things. Are they actually tea bags with actual tea in them ? And not just herb/spice and fruit stuff for a "herbal infusion" type drink ?

Says herbal tea on the box.... Im sure an herb/spice infusion. Mannye has it spelled out.
 
Good one Alchemist:D

I'm actually bringing this one to life now. Got a traditional going as we speak. I'll add the tea and lemon juice into the secondary... just the slow wait.
 
It's tea packets... I wouldn't imagine that it take long to infuse at all. But Im gonna end up leaving in the mead anyway until Im ready to transfer or bottle.

Whoa Nelly! My Chambers dictionary (published in Edinburgh) defines tea as "the leaves of any plant infused as a beverage", so a tea does not in fact need to be made from boiled tea leaves...
 
Bernard is correct. Just as hops became commonplace as the only thing to make beer with, so too Ceylon became commonplace, and then all tea was assumed to be Ceylon, and thus the name changed.
I believe it used to be called cha before it morphed into tea.
How we have to specify it as 'herbal' tea, 'peppermint tea'
Just like wine means 'from grape' so we have to say 'honey wine' or 'apricot wine'
 
And the winner goes to ....

Nefertititea it is and here's a photo.
