I found this in 1993 when a flood left our front yard full of beautiful, very large dandelions. The blossoms cannot have been sprayed with any pesticides and should be thoroughly rinsed.

Remove and discard blossoms. Let water cool to 90 degrees F (32 degrees C), about 10 minutes. Stir in sugar, orange, lemon, and yeast; pour into a plastic fermentor and attach a fermentation lock. Let the wine ferment in a cool area until the bubbles stop, 10 to 14 days. Siphon the wine off of the lees (sediment) and strain liquid through cheesecloth before bottling in four sterilized 1-quart canning jars. Age the wine at least 1 week for best flavor. I Made It Print
