Grate the pears and apples, including the cores and skins. Place in a fermentation bucket with the chopped raisins and sugar. Cover with boiling water, stirring vigorously to dissolve the sugar. When cool add the cold tea, citric acid, yeast nutrient and wine yeast. Cover and leave for seven days in a warm place, stirring daily. Strain through a fine sieve and put into a demijohn and fit an airlock to seal the jar.

Store in a warm place and allow the fermentation to work. When fermentation has ceased, rack the wine into a clean jar and place in a cooler environment and leave. When the wine is clear and stable siphon into bottles.
