Dandelion Wine Alcohol for College

Turn those yellow weeds that are around your college dorm buildings into the most delicious wine you've ever tasted!!! Dandelion Wine! It's a very easy and quick recipe. The hardest part is gathering all the dandelions. I hired my little cousins to collect the dandelions for me.

First step is to strip all the petals (yellow) off the dandelions. This is what you'll use to make the wine. You don't want any green in there. It will make it taste very bitter if there is.

Boil for 5 minutes: 1 qt Dandelion blossoms, 1 gallon Water, 1 Lemon; sliced and 2 1/2 lb Sugar.

Pour into a jar. When cold, add 2tb yeast. Keep in a warm place for 3 days until it ferments, then strain and bottle cork tightly.

ENJOY!!!
