Gorse Flower Wine

  • 1 gallon gorse flowers
  • 1 gallon water
  • 2-3lb sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cold tea
  • 1 orange
  • 1 lemon
  • 50g root ginger
  • 25g yeast

Cover the flowers, ginger, orange and lemon juice and rind with boiling water. After 5 days, with occasional stirring, this is strained into a fermenting jar; the sugar is melted in the rest of the water and added. When cool add the yeast and cold tea. Syphon after a couple of months and again in eight to ten weeks.
