How to Make Dandelion Wine

Dandelion Wine

How to make Homemade Dandelion Flower Wine from Scratch

Ingredients:

3 quarts dandelion blossoms

1 gallon water

2 oranges, with peel

1 lemon, with peel

3 lbs. sugar

1 pkg. wine yeast

1 lb. raisins

Directions:

Collect the blossoms when they are fully open on a sunny day.
Remove any green parts as they will impair fermentation and ruin the taste of the wine.
Bring the water to a boil and pour it over the flowers in a large pot or crock.
Cover and let steep for three days.
Prepare the oranges and the lemon by zesting about half the skin off and cut the rest off in very thin strips to minimize the amount of white pith.
Peel the citrus completely and slice into thin rounds.
Add the orange and lemon zest to the flower-water mixture and bring to a boil.
Remove from heat, strain out solids and add the sugar stirring until it is dissolve.
Allow to cool.
Add the orange and lemon slices, yeast, and raisins to the liquid.
Put everything into a crock with a loose lid (so gas can escape) to ferment.
Cover it with a clean cotton towel held down by a rubber band.
Stir daily with a wooden spoon or non-reactive stir stick.
When the mixture has stopped bubbling (1 -2 weeks), fermentation is complete.
Strain the liquid through several layers of cheesecloth and transfer to sterilized bottles.
Slip a deflated balloon over the top of each bottle to monitor for further fermentation.
When the balloon remains deflated for 24 hours, fermentation is complete.
Cork the bottles and store in a cool, dark place for at least six months before drinking.
