The flowers must be freshly gathered first, picked off their stalks, and put into a polythene bucket. You do not need to pull off the petals, you must use the whole head. Bring the water to the boil, pour over the dandelions and leave for two days, stirring each day. Keep the bucket closely covered. On the third day, turn all into a boiler, add the sugar and the rinds only of the lemons and orange. Boil for one hour. Return to the bucket, and add the juice and pulp of the lemons and orange. Allow to stand until cool, then add the wine yeast and the tanin, and the yeast nutrient. Let it remain closely covered for three days in a warm place, then strain into fermenting bottles and add the concentrate. Fit the air locks. Leave until fermentation ceases and rack and top up when clear. This wine, is best left for 6 months or even longer.
