14 cups of water sounds like a lot. Can you confirm that this is correct?
It is correct, but I would add it slowly. If you like a stronger taste you may not want as much.
Would this fit in a pint size jar?
I think you could do a pint size version of it. It would probably need the amount in each jar cut in 1/2. Maybe a little less than 1/2, but it could work for sure!
