Dandelion Wine

Over three quarts of dandelion blossoms pour one gallon of boiling water. Let the blossoms stand from twenty-four to forty-eight hours, then strain through cheese-cloth. Add the juice of four oranges and three lemons, four pounds of granulated sugar, and one fourth a cake of compressed yeast. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Put the mixture in a two or three gallon jar. Tie muslin over the top of the jar.

Set it in the cellar for six weeks. Then skim, strain, and bottle. It is now ready for use and is pronounced not only good to the taste but a healthful drink.
