Rhubarb wine
- Take 3-5 sticks of rhubarb (1kg rhubarb to 3.3l of water), slice them and put into the freezer. The cells will expand and burst, releasing the flavour.
- Next day remove the frozen rhubarb and put it in a pan to defrost. Add 6 pints of boiling water to the pan
- Over the next two days, leave the mixture in the pan and every so often mash with a potato masher
- Then put in a muslin and squish.
- Pour the liquid into a demijohn.
- Add sugar - 1lb.(Can add up to 2lb).
- Add wine yeast
- Bubble bubble.......for 2-3 weeks
- If tastes alcoholic, good. If not, add more sugar
- Leave to clear
- Stop it by adding a Camden tablet.
- Siphon into bottle
