Dandelion 2019 - slightly chilled

This is dandelion season.
Just about now there’s an explosion of yellow flowers everywhere you look.
But don’t be in too much of a rush to cut them.
They’re an important early source of nectar for bumble bees - and let’s face it, they need all the help they can get right now.
But in some places there are so many, you wouldn’t notice a bucket picked to make a very interesting springtime country wine.
And ready just in time for a late summer evening chill-out.


Here’s an excellent article and easy recipe from the Guardian.

BTW you don’t need glass demijohns - you can recycle gallon mineral water containers and drill a hole in the lid if you know someone that uses them.
​You can make this recipe anytime, but spring dandelions are the best.
