Girl I LOVE YA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m getting the stuff to make the honey wine tonight!
Honey Wine
Makes 1 Gallon [US Gallon]
3 Pounds Honey - Any Kind [Just substitute maple syrup for the honey]
1 Large Lemon Juiced [Only use the juice]
1 Tablespoon very strong English Breakfast Tea
1 Large pinch of bread crumbs
1 Package of good wine yeast [”good” means a strong alcohol content]
Fill a pot half way with clean water [basically, if you can drink it, it tastes good, and you don’t get sick from it], and bring it to a boil. Turn of the heat and add everything except the yeast. Stir to mix everything real good. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes [I assume uncovered, as this is what I have done and everything turns out fine]. After the wait, fill the pot to make one gallon, stir, and put into the bubbler [the fermenter with an air lock]. When the brew is room temperature, float the yeast [sprinkle the yeast - not mixing it in] and add the top [put the air lock back on the fermenter].
Let sit kicking away [producing CO2, or bubbling] for one month. After a month, pour [siphon] the green wine [fermented solution] into another bubbler [a secondary fermenter with an air lock you can get at a wine supply or off the net] and let sit until clear. Once it is clear [about 2 to 6 months] bottle the new [not aged] wine. Let the wine sit for as long as you can so the flavor will loose it’s bite [let the mead age for about 6 months to a year in the bottles].
