Dandelion Wine
Gather 1 gallon of dandelion blossoms. In a large container, mix with:2 unpeeled lemons
2 unpeeled oranges
2 peeled grapefruit
1 cup raisins
1 cup sugar
Add boiling water to cover, stir, and let cool.
Stir in a package of dry baking yeast.
Cover. Stir daily for a week.
Strain the mixture through a couple layers of cheesecloth, squeezing
well to extract all the juices. Add 4 cups or sugar- or to taste. Let
this mix sit a further 5 days.
Now pour the filtered mix into bottles, but don't seal the bottles
yet. Wait until all fermentation has ceased, then cork or otherwise
seal the bottles, and let them age. How long? Well, the longer the
better.
