Guest guest Posted January 12, 2001 Report Share Posted January 12, 2001 Penny told me Monks used this as a tonic- do you think it would work as a diuretic? Hubby hate dandelion tea- says it taste like grass- he needs a diuretic so thought he could drink the wine to get the job done?- Of course he likes this idea much better. I thought I would also add the recipe- as it is so very easy- I also have a wonderful Rose Petal jam recipe- anyone???? June Dandelion Wine 5 quarts blossoms ( pack tight) 5 quarts water 3 lbs. sugar ( yeah I know- but honey didn't work right) 1 orange 1 lemon 1 pkg. dry active yeast- 1 slice whole wheat toast. Add 5 quart boiling water to blossoms. Let set covered for a day. Day 2 strain off blossoms. Add citrus juice to the dandelion tea- also put in peel. Boil 30- 60 minutes. Cool to room temp. Toast bread. Add water to yeast(warm) and just enough to make a paste. Spread on whole wheat . Float in the juice for 3 days.( covered) Strain and let rest 1 day. Strain into bottles jars and drink in 3/4 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
