I'd suspect the tea then <shudder>

If you strain the little !@#$'s out and hit it with campden, it's perfectly safe, if you can stomach the thought of drinking something that's had insects in it... I've done it, although I did run it through a wine filter first...
 
I'm still really confused about where they came from. Maybe it was the tea. I've made tea since then just for the purpose of looking for them, to no avail. But there was only like 5 of them in the must anyway. Usually they're in an abundance. Once it's finished I'll put some campden in it and then run it through a cheese cloth.

Has anyone tried this recipe? "Poor Man's Cyser"? It seems close to being done, but it doesn't really look that appealing. Definitely nowhere near "clear".
