Yield Makes about 1 gallon

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 cups dandelion flowers
6 cups boiling water
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 Meyer lemon, thinly sliced
1 orange, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Place dandelion flowers in a large heatproof container. Pour boiling water over top. Cover and let steep for at least 4 hours and up to 24 hours. When making dandelion wine, cleanliness is key. Make sure your kitchen counters, hands, and all utensils are sterile.
  • 2. Pour the resulting tea through a fine-mesh strainer into a large pot or saucepan, pressing the petals to extract as much flavor as possible. Discard blossoms and bring tea to a boil.
  • 3. Place sugar in a heatproof 1-gallon jar. Pour boiling dandelion tea into jar and stir to dissolve. Add lemon and orange slices. Cover jar and let liquid stand for 2 weeks at room temperature, shaking every couple days.
  • 4. Pour dandelion wine through a fine-mesh strainer lined with a coffee filter into a clean container. Serve or cover and store refrigerated for up to 3 weeks.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I've never made wine before, but I'm so glad I did! It was a lot easier than I thought and the wine turned out great. It's light and refreshing, with a subtle floral flavor. I've already shared the recipe wit

Just bottled my first batch of dandelion wine made from this recipe. It's still a bit young, but it's already showing a lot of promise. Can't wait to see how it tastes after a few months of aging!
