Instructions
- Wash the grapes thoroughly and crush them with your hand to release the juice.
- Combine crushed grapes, sugar, water, wheat kernels and yeast in a big earthen pot or glass jar. Close the lid and leave in a cool dark place for 21 days. Stir the mixture every day.
- After 21 days, strain the grape mixture into another jar using a muslin cloth. Keep again in a cool dark place for seven days. Leave it untouched.
- After seven days, strain the clear wine without disturbing the sediments in the bottom. Pour the wine into colored glass bottles.
- NOTE - To prevent further fermentation, you can add 3 tablespoons of rum to the wine before bottling it.
- I used American black seedless grapes in this recipe.
- One cup = 250 ml, one tablespoon = 15 ml, one teaspoon = 5 ml.
