- If life give you Dandelions--------
Ingredients
- 1 package (7 g) dried brewing yeast
- 1/4 cup (60 mL) warm water
- 2 quarts (230 g) whole dandelion flowers
- Using 2 quarts+ of just the petals can make for a less bitter wine.[2]
- 4 quarts water (3.785 L)
- 1 cup (240 mL) orange juice
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons (45 g) fresh lime juice
- 1/2 teaspoon (1.25 g) powdered ginger
- 3 tablespoons (18 g) coarsely chopped orange zest; avoid any white pith
- 1 tablespoon (6 g) coarsely chopped lemon zest; avoid any white pith
- 6 cups (1200 g) sugar
- Wash and clean the blossoms well. Think of it as a fruit or vegetable; you don't want bugs or dirt in your food. Remove all green material.
- 2Soak flowers for two days.
- 3Place the blossoms in the four quarts of water, along with the lime, orange, and lemon juices.
- 4Stir in the ginger, cloves, orange peels, lemon peels, and sugar. Bring the mix to a boil for an hour. This creates the 'infusion' that will later become wine after fermentation.
- 5Strain through filter papers (coffee filters are recommended). Let the infusion cool down for a while.
- 6Stir the yeast in while the infusion is still warm, but below 100 degrees F.
- 7Cover it and leave it alone, let it stand overnight.
- 8Pour it into bottles, poke a few holes in a balloon and place over the tops of the bottles to create an airlock, to keep out unwanted wild yeasts, and store them in a dark place for at least three weeks so that it can ferment. At this point you now have wine!
- 9Rack the wine several times, optionally. Racking means waiting until the wine clears, then siphoning or pouring the liquid into another container, leaving the lees (sediment) at the bottom of the first container.[3]
- 10Cork and store the bottles in a cool place. Allow the wine some time to age. Most recipes recommend waiting at least six months, preferably a year. [4]

Walker Recall List
Not to get too political here, BUT taxes are WAY TOO HIGH.
Whatever it takes, and I really mean, whatever it takes, we need to get taxes down almost 40% so that money can flow into productive activities.
