Wine recipe taken from 500 Recipes Home-Made Wines & Drinks by Marguerite Patten
- 12 large lemon 🍋
- 1 gallon of water
- 1 Demijohn or your preferred container
To each gallon of water: - 3lb. of sugar
- 1/2 oz. of wine yeast
Method
1. Slice the lemons.
2. Pour over the boiling water & leave for 3 days to infuse.
3. Strain off liquid into a demijohn, add sugar & yeast & leave to ferment in a warm place
Ideally – 18°C – 254°C or 65°F to 75°F
5. When it stops bubbling, stir well and leave for a further 3 days for the sediment to settle.
Mine took several weeks to stop bubbling so it can take a while.
6. Strain liquid into a bottles and wait for a year.
I ended up with just over 5 bottles and I’ll report the results in a few months time ☺️
~ Enjoy
