When Kirby was at Aunt Vera's cleaning out her apartment he came across this old picture and recipe for Dandelion Wine and decided to bring it home to me. I love it. If someone out there wants to feel like an old hippy and decides to make this, please let me know how it turns out. I don't ever want to have 2 1/2 quarts of dandelions in my yard!
- 2 1/2 Quarts dandelion flowers
- 4 Quarts hot water
- 4 Lemons, sliced
- 2 Oranges, sliced
- 3 Lbs sugar
- 2 T. granulated yeast
- Remove stems from flowers. Place in crock, pour hot water over flowers and let stand for 3 days.
- Strain. Dissolve yeast in small amount of cold water.
- Add dandelion water, yeast solution, lemons, oranges and sugar.
- Cover crock & set in cool, dark place.
- Wine is ready to decant when you hear it working; in about 3 weeks.
- Strain before decanting.
- Makes 4 Quarts
I'm going to pass on this recipe. I will wait with you until someone else let's us know how it turns out.
