Lime Flower Wine
I have decided to try out a flower wine. Seeing as we have had so much success with the Elderflower Champagne.
The recipe I have found is as follows
3 pints lime flowers, snipped from their stalks
2 lemons
3lb sugar
water to one gallon
wine yeast, yeast nutrient
Make a gallon of over-mashed lime flower tea; so, get a straining bag, put the lime flowers in with zest from the two lemons, dissolve the sugar and yeast nutrient in the water along with the lemon juice, boil it, pour it on, let it stand for half an hour. Add yeast when it has cooled, and let it ferment out as for any flower wine (four or five days in primary, then rack as normal).
Makes a very flowery wine; note that this recipe doesn’t call for any tannin, grape juice or raisins, its a very subtle, flowery brew.
UPDATE: Left it too late all the flowers have now gone over.
