This recipe has been used to prepare wine from roses in England for more than one century. It should be noted that the richer the color of the rose petals, the deeper the color of the wine will be. This amount of ingredients is designed to produce a finished wine with a volume of 5 liters.
It is necessary
- - fresh rose petals
- - 4.5 liters of water
- - 1 kg sugar + 300 g sugar
- - 2-3 pieces of raisins
- - fermentation tank
- - plugs for clogging
- - water seal (lid, can, tube, sealant)
Instructions
Step 1
Pick petals from garden roses. They, in contrast to the purchased cut, are more aromatic and are not treated with the strongest chemicals. There should be enough petals to fill a 2 liter jar.
Step 2
Pour the petals into a large container, pour 4.5 liters of water, add 1 kg of sugar, close tightly and place in a warm place for fermentation.
Step 3
After 4-7 days, add another 300 g of sugar and install the water seal. A water seal is needed to release carbon dioxide from fermentation and to prevent oxygen from entering the fermentation tank. If you do not put a water seal, the wine alcohol will turn into wine vinegar. There are several types of such water locks. You can use the following. You will need a lid, a large diameter tube, a can. It is enough to make a hole in the lid of the fermentation tank, insert the tube and seal the junction with glue. The other end is dipped into a jar of water.
Fermentation lasts about two weeks in hot summer, in cooler - three weeks.
Step 4
After the end of the fermentation process, drain the wine from the residue and keep in a cellar or a cool dark place for 1-1.5 months. Then bottle and cork.
