Method
- Gently rinse the lilac blossoms to remove dirt or insects.
- In a large saucepan, bring the gallon of water to a boil.
- Add the rinsed lilacs to the boiling water, cover, and let steep for 24 hours.
- Strain the liquid through a cheesecloth or fine strainer into your fermentation jug.
- While the liquid is still warm, stir in the sugar until dissolved.
- Add the lemon juice, acid blend, and yeast nutrient.
- Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature before adding the wine yeast.
- Seal the fermentation jug with an airlock and place it in a dark, cool area for about a week.
- After fermentation is complete, siphon the wine into clean bottles.
- Seal the bottles and store them in a cool, dark place.
Notes
Patience is key; letting the wine age for a few months will enhance the flavors.
