Dandelion Wine
Take a gallon of fresh picked dandelioni flowers and place them in a large tub, pour 1 gallon of boiling water over them and let it steep for about 10 or so days stirring now and then. Then strain the liquid and add 3 or 4 pounds sugar, its up to you and your tastebuds Slice the lemoni and the orangei and add them too. Heat so that the sugar all dissolves and simmer for about 20 minutes or so. Remove from heat. After it has cooled down, add a tablespoon of brewer's yeast. Cover and leave for a few days. Then put it in a cask and bottle it for 2 months or more.
Dandelion blossoms are actually made up of many tiny yellow flowers that many folks take to be petals. Only these should be used in to make the wine, not the green bracht that holds them all together as that's very bitter. Taste the different parts and you'll see. Dandelion flowers are delicious!
This recipe has strong solar associations so it is great for use at sun festivals, such as Midsummer day! Also, try this wine as an aid to divinationi, especially in association with love.
