I decided to try this again this morning. This time I used hotter water (195 F) and a shorter steep of 1 minute. This is much more to my liking. Yesterday’s alcohol taste is mostly replaced by a sweet buttery candy flavor. It is butterscotch like but the white tea gives it a twist.

I’ll have to try it this way too! The alcohol weirdness was too much for me. Ick.

Thinking next time of sticking with the original recommendation of 180 F but using the 1 minute steep. Maybe that would get me even closer. Anyway, today was a major step forward unless you really like the scotch taste.
