• 1 tsp. grape tannin

METHOD:

1. Fresh flowers should be gathered on a dry sunny day.

9. Stir thoroughly until sugar is completely dissolved.
10. Put in 1-gallon jar and fit airlock.
11. Ferment at room temperature, when fermentation slows down, top up with cooled pre-boiled water.
12. When fermentation is finished, rack into another jar and add 1 teaspoon of grape tannin and 1 crushed campden tablet.
13. Rack again in 3 months and bottle in another 3 months.
14. The wine can be sweetened using Sweetener and filtered if desired.
