Chop all the fruit and place in a fermentation bucket together with the sugar. Add the boiling water and stir well to dissolve the sugar. When cool add the strong tea, citric acid, yeast nutrient and wine yeast. Cover and leave for seven days, 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.
