Ingredients:
2 quarts dandelion heads 4 oranges
3 lb. white sugar Yeast nutrient
1 gallon water Yeast
Method:
This recipe makes a pleasant alternative to the foregoing one. It is important that
the flowers should be picked in sunshine, or at midday, when they are fully opened, and
the making of the wine should be done immediately.
Measure the yellow heads, discarding as much green as possible (without being
too fussy about it), bringing the water to the boil meanwhile. Pour the boiling water over
the flowers and leave them to steep for two days. Again, be careful not to exceed this time
or a curious odour often invades and spoils what is a most pleasant table wine, properly
made. Boil the mixture for ten minutes with the orange peel (no white pith) and strain
through muslin on the sugar, stirring to dissolve it. When cool add the yeast nutrient, fruit
juice and yeast. Put into fermentation jar and fit trap, and siphon off into clean bottles
when the wine has cleared. It will be just right for drinking with your Christmas poultry!
