Do You Know Flower Wines Exist?

[Tomoyo Chan]

Flower wines have been made for centuries in various cultures. For instance, dandelion wine has roots in rural Europe and North America. Other variations include Elderfower wine and Rose wine. There are also lotus flower or jasmine wines, but they are rare and expensive in certain regions.

To make flower wines, the recipes typically require flowers, sugar, water, yeast, and sometimes lemon or orange juice for acidity.
