Mint Wine

Since I grow mint, I’ve been wanting to try this recipe for the past couple years.  Just could never find the time.  Maybe this summer.

    4 cups fresh mint

    2 pounds honey

    pectic enzyme (opt)

    zest & juice of 2 lemons for acid (opt)

    champagne yeast

Steep mint in 3 qts boiled water.
 
Add honey- stir till honey dissolves.
 
Add pectic enzyme & lemons.
 
Let sit over night with tight cover.
 
Strain into gallon jug.
 
Pitch yeast. Add airlock.
 
Rack after 2 weeks.
 
Then Rack every three months until clear.
 
Bottle.
