|
thoroughly. Boil for 20 min. and then remove from heat. Let

a clean dish towel into wine bottles, filling them to the

|
brim. Tie pieces of muslin over the bottle tops or use
|
|
corks. Do not seal too tightly. Small amounts of gas may
|
|
form and must be allowed to escape. It is ready to drink
|
|
after fermentation has stopped and no more bubbles appear in
|
|
the bottles. Store in a dark cool place for up to 6 months.-
