So, as I made a sample scratch mead that incorporated teaberries and other spices, I wanted to see how the product tasted. My larger batch had a sharp, astringent taste, while my other smaller batch was up to par. Both of the vessels were disinfected, and both raged with foam when initially making it.
I did incorporate wintergreen leaves into it too, semi crushed to get some more mint out of it, and there's a layer of used up teaberries as well on the top half. My question- should I let it rest for a while longer (the larger vessel) so the astringency wears off? Should I skim the used up teaberries off the top and give it a tap/swirl once in a while so the bubbles from the teaberry puree on the bottom? Or should I call it a nixed batch?
I was the Greninja named "Noob", who's internet shat the bed at the beginning of our match. I reconnected at 2:30, just in time for Zapdos. Kudos to you guys for never giving up and winning the match, you rock!
Does anyone have any idea to extract the essential oils in teaberry berries or the leaves by fermentation? Been reading up on it, and was curious if there are any pointers for it. I'll be posting the experiment when I do them for reference.
I was also looking to do some type of extract from them as well, but which part (leaves or berries) would be better? Any information would be awesome, as I'm probably going to be making some wine, boilo (coal region drink) and maybe some candy with them.
Does anyone know where I can source actual teaberries? Dried or fresh?
Is it a decent base for a beginner? I can get one cheap near me, and locally everyone else wants top dollar for a base station. I know it’s only 23 channels sadly but is it worth the 40 bucks?
For context, I'm in mid-Michigan and looking at buying a small starter plant and was wondering if around now would be a good time to plant them. If not, when would be a good time?
Here's a page on it from U of M.
Thanks!

Hey folks,
I am a home brewer, and I like to make a lot of farm house beers using solely Ontario ingredients, and really like to try and forage interesting ingredients. After trying to find a few items that can be foraged even in the winter, I came across people talking about wintergreen/teaberry/boxberry etc.
Apparently it does grow around here, and I was wondering if anyone knows a place where it could be found relatively reliably.
Or of anyone else has some interesting ideas for things that can be found in winter I would love to hear about it.
Thanks!
Vanilla guy doesnt know what he's talking about. Teaberry surpasses all other forms of ice cream in flavour and satisfaction. The light mixture of minty fruitiness, and the unique profile that is offers is in so many ways superior to the other garbage flavours that vendors so desperately try to pawn on a person.
Teaberry is King, y'all.
I will be a geoscience PhD candidate next fall at university park. My wife and I are deciding on apartments/townhomes in and around state college and Teaberry ridge is our top choice. Has anyone lived there or knows someone who has? If so what did you think of it? We are moving from Oklahoma so we won’t be able to tour before moving in.
I've been wanting to add more native plants to my yard and garden and I cant seem to find seeds for these locally. Anyone have native plant patches? How well have you found they grow? I might have to settle with take cuttings from the woods, or berries when they fruit. I'm open to more suggestions for native plants as well.
Growing up, I remember seeing Clark's Teaberry gum at the checkout line in Kroger's in the U.S. I knew it was an ancient brand then, and it was discontinued a while back.
I looked around a bit and didn't seem to come across any gum made from teaberry. Does anyone know of any where you're from? Feeling a bit nostalgic.
I had a juice that I determined was forest fruit, green tea, and teaberry, possibly koolada as well - Gold Seal Miruvor.
"Brewed like it could have been from Middle-earth, Miruvor will replenish and soothe your mind. Made with wild tea leaves and small forest fruits, this Elvish elixir will lighten your spirit and refresh you until whatever comes next. No matter how far on your journey you are, you can always rely on it... As long as you didn't go through the whole bottle with your fellows already." - Alex Beaucage
I have the forest fruit and the green tea (gotta love how they basically list the recipe in the description lol) but the only teaberry I see is LA. I found a thread saying it doesn't mix very well and separates. Is there another one I'm not finding, or is there a way to diy a teaberry flavor?
Hey crafty crafters, as the title reads, has anyone ever made teaberry icecream? I was looking into making some after a trip to the pine barrens but the recipes all call for teaberry extract.
So I put some, with leaves, in vodka to let soak and make extract. I am new to making icecream, as in once about 5 years ago, and wanted to make a batch using the fresh berries. Does anyone have any recommendations?
Should I just add them to a vanilla recipe, or treat them like a strawberry, or what?
Thank you for any tips.
For those not familiar teaberry is what flavors pepto bismol. Teaberry ice cream used/is to be a thing as well. I bought some teaberry ice cream flavoring off Amazon to try out it and made my Huel this morning.
- Bit of Ice
- Half the shaker of Almond Milk (unsweetened)
- Rest is water
- Two scoops U/U
- 1 1/4 Teaberry Flavoring (think I'll use less next time)
- Spoon of sugar
The result is like drinking pepto but slightly sweeter and a bit more mint. While this may not be everyone's cup of tea I myself love the taste and figured it was worth sharing.
Does anyone know where to get teaberry gum, or anything like it? Preferably looking for an online source as I am in upstate NY, but posting here because I know teaberry gum was produced in Pittsburgh.
