Intro & Description

Beetroot wine is a surprisingly tasty dry, country wine with amazing color.  Never heard of beet wine?  Maybe it’s time to give it a try.

If you love wine, you will love beetroot wine!

Recipe

 Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 250ml BWG Beetroot Punch 

• 1 ½ Granny Smith apples (to yield 125ml juice)

• 125ml double-strength oolong tea, chilled (see Note at bottom)

Preparation:

1. Using a juicer or blender, juice the apples (core them first if using a blender). 

2. Transfer the juice to a glass jar with a lid. 

3. Place the juice in the refrigerator overnight to rest and allow the solids to settle to the bottom. 

4. Strain the juice through cheesecloth to remove any sediment.  

5. Combine the strained apple juices, Beetroot Punch and the tea in a pitcher. 

6. Chill until ready to serve. 

7. Before serving, skim off any foam or solids floating on top, and decant off of the settled solids at the bottom.  Serve in wineglasses. 

Recipe Notes

To make double-strength tea, just double the amount of tea leaves you would ordinarily use. If you’re using tea bags, use two instead of one. If you have loose-leaf tea, go with 2 teaspoons of tea leaves to 1 cup of water (unless the leaves are balled up, in which case use 1 teaspoon) 

You can use Green / Black Tea, but this will alter the taste slightly.
