Don't forget, that the flowers should really be picked in sunshine or at midday, so that the flowers are fully opened, and the making of the wine should be done immediately.

Measure the yellow heads, discarding as much green as possible, bringing the water to the boil in the meantime. Two litres of flower heads weigh approximately 1 lb. Pour the boiling water over the flowers and leave them for two days in a closely covered bucket. Again, be careful not to exceed this time or a curious odour often invades and spoils what is a most pleasant table wine, properly made. Boil the mixture for 10 minutes with rough muslin over the sugar, stirring to dissolve it. When cool add the yeast nutrient, fruit juice and yeast. Put into fermentation jar and fit air-lock, and siphon off into clean bottles when the wine is cleared. It will be just right for drinking within 6 months or earlier if you are really impatient.
