  • Pour the boiling water over the flowers, cover with cloth, and steep for two days. Do not exceed two days.
  • Add the zest from four oranges (no white pith) and boil for ten minutes.
  • Strain through a muslin cloth or bag onto a crock or plastic pail containing the sugar, stirring to dissolve.
  • When cool, add the juice of the oranges, the yeast and yeast nutrient. Pour into a carboy or some sort of airtight container, and allow to ferment completely.
