Dandelion Wine

Pick the dandelion flowers (heads only) on a fine day when the flowers are open. Wash the flowers very well to remove any insects, etc., and put them in a large bowl. Thinly slice the lemon and orange and add the slices to the dandelion flowers. Pour one gallon of boiling water over the dandelions and stir well. Cover the bowl and let stand for 10 days. After ten days, strain the liquid off into another bowl and stir in 3 lbs. granulated sugar. Spread 1/2 oz. of yeast on a slice of toast and float on top. Cover the bowl and leave it set for another 3 days. After three days remove the toast and strain the liquid again, then bottle. This wine is very nice when new, but of course will improve with age.
