[recipe] May Wine

[Guest guest]

May is on the way! Here is a great bevvie to celebrate May Day

with those you love. i really like this recipe.

 

May Wine

 

1 bottle strawberry or cherry juice [i used POM ]

1 bottle white wine, chilled such as Chardonnay

1 bottle strawberry or pear juice, chilled

1 pint ripe strawberries, stemmed, washed, sliced

Sweet woodruff (optional)*

 

Using one bottle of strawberry or cherry juice, make ice

cubes the night before. On the day you are planning to serve,

combine the wine with the other chilled juice in a large

container. Wrap the sweet woodruff in a piece of cheesecloth

to make an infusion, and immerse the herb into the beverage.

Keep chilled for one hour.

Remove bag, pour wine mixture into a serving bowl or pitcher,

and add in the sliced strawberries and juice ice cubes.

Make a proper May Day [aka Beltane] toast and enjoy!

and they sat or reclined on the ground with a feeling

of being close to a mothering power...The soil was

soothing, strengthening, cleansing and healing... "
