Dandelion Wine

Another nostalgic recipe to save for spring is Dandelion Wine (dated 9/79)

Five pounds dandelion flowers
crumbled yeast cakes (two)
six pounds sugar

Gather dandelion flowers early in morning. Boil in water to cover, added crumbled yeast cakes and sugar. (Cool before adding yeast so as not to kill yeast). Pour into crock, let stand 15 days. Strain off dandelions. Add more sugar if needed. Let stand 15 more days. Taste for alcoholic content. If not strong enough, add more sugar. Bottle.
