Dandelion wine, believed to be of Celtic origin, is regarded as one of the fine country wines of Europe. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, it was not proper for ladies to drink alcohol. However, dandelion flower wine was considered so therapeutic to the kidneys and digestive system that it was deemed medicinal even for the ladies.“

Homemade Dandelion Wine Recipe. Adapted from Dandelion Medicine.

Ingredients
  • 3 quarts dandelion petals (use the yellow flower petals only. Leaving the petals attached to the green base of the flower will result in a bitter, unpleasant wine.)
  • 1 gallon water
  • 2 oranges, with peel, preferably organic
  • 1 lemon, with peel, preferably organic
  • 3 pounds sugar
  • 1 package wine yeast or champagne yeast
  • 1 pound raisins, preferably organic


What is dandelion wine Good For?
Dandelion wine is a medicinal drink that also helps you feel buzzed. Dandelions are excellent for digestive health since they help detoxify the lungs and heart. The dandelion petals are rich in potassium, vitamins A, B, C, and D. Perhaps this was the very first wine that was genuinely beneficial to your liver.

What is the taste of dandelion wine?

Dandelion wine has been likened to mead, with a hint of honey taste to it. This wine should be served chilled, and although it won't technically spoil, if it is aged too long it may not taste quite as good. If you've never made wine before, be prepared to be patient—fermenting dandelion wine takes about two years.

Good morning, happy Tuesday.

I ate my weight in turkey and pie over the weekend and got to see the family. Got ripped off on our hotel room. A bathtub with jets is not a hot tub >:(
We once stayed in a truckstop motel in Iowa. The only room left was the bridal suite which had an entirely mirrored ceiling and a huge hot tub right next to the bed. Pretty sure we slept in our clothes.

Good morning!

Supposed to be a beautiful day here, with highs near 70f. I am going to finish crack sealing the asphalt driveway!!

And maybe, just maybe, get a bike ride in. Might be the last chance for the season. Or at least a walk in the park!!

Pie sounds good....Turkey and stuffing even better! One of my favorite meals!!

There'd be more bubbles if you had some bean soup the night before? bongsmilie
I used it, but I wasn't happy, I was expecting something two people could fit in.
