That's sounds amazing, but I am curious about your reasoning behind the addition of Jägermeister.

Also, sorry for being an asshole.

eh, I tasted the herbal teal near the end of the brew and thought it was still too weak. Jager was in the neighborhood of the flavor I was going for so it was a hail-mary. I think it worked but I might back off a bit and think about what'd be better.

Ever brewed yourself?

(it's ok man I just like to connect on my terms... I'm like a cat that way) (I truly would fund your way down here to explore when you're ready)

If the flavor/texture is too weak, you're probably diluting it with too much water. Maybe back off on the water?

Maybe. It was getting down to syrup level. So I added water to keep it liquid.

Maybe add your tea after fermentation is done? That can drive off a lot of flavors
