Basically, you pick a bunch of oak leaves Rinse them Boil some water depending on the batch size Put oak leaves in a mesh bag then add to water AKA, make Oak Leaf Tea Add a little bit of ginger plus any other spices you'd like, then add the honey and yeast (after the must has cooled)
this looks good. do you get it fairly clear naturally or do you need to do some sort of filtration?
I've never not had everything settle out and then just siphon it off with the bottling wand I do add some Bentonite
