Bramble Tip Wine
Ingredients
1 gallon measure of the tips of young blackberry shoots
Yeast
1 gallon water
4 lb. sugar
Method
Boil the tender ends of young blackberry shoots in the water for an hour, keeping the volume constant with added water. Strain through muslin on to the sugar and stir until dissolved. When cool, add the yeast and pour the mixture into a jar which should be filled.
Keep in a warm room, inserting an air lock or loosely fitting cork when froth ceases to form. Allow to ferment until gas bubbles no longer form. Cool for several days, syphon off the wine from the yeast deposit and store in a filled and sealed jar in a cold cellar for six months. Syphon again, bottle, cork, wire and store the bottles on their sides for at least a further six months.
