    Plenty of recipes online for this tipple, but has anyone ever tasted it? Is it worth doing or not?

    Many thanks

    It tastes evil. Made a gallon once to serve at Halloween and never bothered again. What wasn't drunk 'in the spirit of the event' got poured down the sink afterwards.

    I was pouring 7 gallons of tea wine away when my mate came round, he insisted on keeping a gallon even though it was fowl :chicken:

    About a year later it was bloomin lovely :doh:

    If it was fowl, perhaps it was this recipe?

    Are these squashes or pumpkins? (And how to ripen them?)
