Ingredients

Water: 1 gal(US)

Fleishmann`s bread Yeast (TS): 1 Unit

Orange (Large): 1 Unit

Raisins: 25 Unit

Cinnamon stick: 1 Unit

Clover: 3.2 lb

Steps

Dissolve honey in some warm water and put in carboy.

Wash orange well to remove any pesticides and slice in eights

add orange into the carboy

Put in raisins, clove, cinnamon stick, any optional ingredients and fill to 3 inches from the top with cold water.

Shake the heck out of the jug with top on, of course. This is your sophisticated aeration process.

When at room temperature in your kitchen, put in 1 teaspoon of bread yeast.

Install water airlock. Put in dark place. It will start working immediately or in an hour.

After major foaming stops in a few days add some water and then keep your hands off of it.

Racking --- After 2 months and maybe a few days it will slow down to a stop and clear all by itself.

Then you can put a hose in with a small cloth filter on the end into the clear part and siphon off the golden nectar.

You don`t need a cold basement. It does better in a kitchen in the dark.
