- Next, when the mixture is lukewarm, add active yeast which as been suspended in warm water.
- Cover the pan with a towel and let it set for three days undisturbed.
- As you check it, visualize the energy in your wine increasing even as the bubbles are forming (a sign of fermentation starting).
- Finally, strain the mixture again and bottle in loosely corked bottles.
- Once the corks no longer pop out, tasted to see if the wine needs any additional sugar.
- If so, return it to the stove and sweeten to taste, but bring it to a boil so as to kill the yeast.
- Cork tightly and let age for one year in a cool, dark area for best results.
- Enjoy this liquid of the Earth and Sky or if you wish, you can use this as a offering for spells or spirits of your garden!
