How to make parsley wine

I found the recipe on the net – pretty accurate to what I recollect except we added more sugar with the rationale – more sugar = more alcohol. In fact more sugar = bigger headaches……… we were young…..

It makes an exceptionally dry wine rather reminiscent of a Riesling

Winemaking Ingredients: Parsley Wine Recipe - Wine Making Guides

1 lb / 450 grams parsley
3 lbs / 1,350 grams sugar
2 lemons
2 oranges
Water up to 1 gallon
Wine yeast

Wash parsley and place in a fermentation bucket. Cover with boiling water and leave for 24 hours. Add sugar, orange and lemon rind (without pith) and stir well until all the sugar has dissolved. Add the yeast and leave to ferment for five days. Strain into a jar and fit an airlock and leave to ferment on your extra wide Kenton Bar Ryder & Yates designed window sills.

When fermentation has ceased, rack the wine into a clean jar and place in a cooler environment and leave for a further few months. Rack again if necessary and leave until the wine is stable and then bottle.
