Now, don't get me wrong, I only made a small quantity...any more than this and I doubt the method would work well enough...

I took a large pan and a small ramakin. I put the ramakin in the pan and filled said pan halfway up the height of the ramakin. I then left the ramakin to heat up in said pan for about 15 minutes. I removed the ramakin and added into it a Morrisons chamomile tea bag and 18ml PG and 8ml VG over the top. I put freshly boiled water in the pan, put the ramakin back in the pan (again, so the water was about halfway up the sides of the ramakin) and turned up the heat on the stove so the water was just wanting to boil. I removed the pan from the heat and let it cool for a while. After maybe 30 minutes, I swished the teabag around in the PG/VG mix and when I squeezed the excess out of the teabag, it looked rather dark so I figured it was time to stop. I took a syringe and dripped a couple of drops onto an atty to give it a try... the result...chocolate?!

One thing I have noticed is that the above quantities were to make 30ml of juice and I am now left with about 20ml of juice to add nic and distilled water to later. I need to find a way to cover a ramakin that wont melt...

I was hoping for a nice vape for bedtime...something nice and herbal and i end up with chocolate flavour (IMO!)?! BONUS! I'm gonna let it steep for a couple of days I think... hehe! excited!

I used CS TensionTamer tea for an extract. I emptied a tea bag into a jar and covered with PG. Let it sit overnight, squeezed it through a coffee filter then pulled it through a .45micron syringe filter. I used either 10 or 15% extract to make a 70/30 juice at 12mg. It tastes pretty good, not exactly like a cup of the tea though. Sometimes it kinda reminds me of an "herb" from my younger days, along with a hint of lemon zest. I haven't tried any honey flavoring or EM yet but either would probably make it better if you like sweeter teas.
