Took some wise advice and lightened up considerably on the leaf and the steep time—just a couple of minutes—and this one is much better now.
I still can’t pick out any individual fruit/flower/spice flavors, it just tastes “purple,” but now it’s a clean grapey purple instead of bitter, muddy purple.
If it tastes like Dimetapp, I must get some.
Don’t laugh … there might be some similarities …
