"Dandelion wine? That exists?"

It exists in two forms; a book by Ray Bradbury, and this concoction...

Yields: About 1 gallon

Ingredients:

1 gallon dandelion blossoms
1 gallon hot water
Juice of 1 lemon
3 oranges, peeled and sliced
4 lbs of sugar
1 cake of yeast
Combine water and blossoms in a crock. Let stand for 24 hours, then strain.

Then add the rest of the ingredients. Let the mixture set for 3 weeks, then bottle.

Age the bottles for at least 2 months.

Good Night!

You can also make wine from kudzu blooms.
