DANDELION WINE
This is a really old recipe. You can use rose petals as well for this. The rose petals resulted in a very pretty pink wine. I bought a wine making kit from a place that sold beer making kits. it basically was a large plastic jug with a small opening that a air release valve fit into. You could use a stone crock, or glass crock...

Steps:
- 1. Measure generous quarts of washed blossoms into a large saucepan. Add the 4 qts of water and boil 30 minutes. The smell will be very strong, but don't worry the finished wine will be fine.
- 2. Pour through a strainer, then pour through double thickness of cheese cloth, into a large glass, stone, or plastic container. You can buy the proper container from beer making outlets, or even online.
- 3. I recommend a plastic wine making jug because they come with a air release valve.
- 4. When cool, add yeast that's been disolved in the tepid water.
- 5. Add raisins, sugar lemon and orange. Cut the lemons and oranges into small pieces, and leave the skins on.
- 6. Let ferment for 2 weeks, stir every day. Just leave out on the counter top, don't refrigerate. I just swirled the jug around because couldn't get a spoon in there.
- 7. Strain and let settle for a day.
- 8. Strain through several thicknesses of cheese cloth until clear.
- 9. Bottle, seal and refrigerate. This will get better as it sits, and will still have some sediment in it. I always waited for at least 1 week before drinking.
