Recipe for Dandelion Wine (from "A Weed by Any Other Name: The Virtues of a Messy Lawn, or Learning to Love the Plants We Don't Plant," by Nancy Gift. Featured June 11, 2009)
Gather one gallon of dandelion flowers on a dry day. Put these in a two-gallon crock and pour one gallon of boiling water over them. Cover the jar and allow the flowers to steep for three days. Strain through a jelly cloth so you can squeeze all the liquid from the flowers. Put the liquid in a kettle, add one small ginger root, the thinly pared peels and the juice of three oranges and one lemon. Stir in three pounds of sugar and boil gently for twenty minutes. Return the liquid to the crock and allow it to cool until barely lukewarm. Spread one-half cake of yeast on a piece of toasted rye bread and float it on top. Cover the crock with a cloth and keep in a warm room for six days. Then strain off the wine into a gallon jug, corking it loosely with a wad of cotton. Keep in a dark place for three weeks, then carefully decant into a bottle and cap or cork tightly.
