How to cook Dandelion wine at home

Step 1

Prepare 3 liters of water for dandelion wine. Pour it into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Separate the dandelion flowers from the receptacle and place in a bowl. Pour in 1 liter of boiling water. Leave for 3 days in a cool place.

Step 2

Strain the resulting infusion of dark brown dandelion flowers through cheesecloth, folded in half, into a clean large saucepan, squeezing them slightly. Add the remaining 2 liters of water, after dissolving sugar in it.

Step 3

Lemon and orange, intended for wine, wash and cut into halves. Squeeze the juice out of them and add to the infusion of dandelions with sugar. Wash the raisins. Also add to the infusion.

Step 4

Cover the saucepan with the resulting fragrant liquid - the basis of the future wine - with clean gauze and leave at room temperature for fermentation for 2 days.

Step 5

Then, using a straw (so that sediment does not get in), pour the wine into a large bottle, without adding about a quarter of the volume to the brim, and close with a fermentation cork (cotton wrapped in gauze or a thin rubber glove).

Step 6

Leave the bottle of wine at room temperature until fermentation stops. Then carefully bottle the wine and age for 3-6 months. During this time, the wine should ripen.
