Orange Wine

Even though I don’t consume wine, lately I have making different varieties of wine. My latest attempt is Orange Wine, a recipe which was given by Lilian aunty, our family friend. The oranges used in this wine are small, loose jacket oranges.
The picture you see above were taken soon after bottling. Hence the cloudy look. As it rests, the wine will get clarity.
Here are a few pointers one needs to keep in mind. The jars and bottles used for wine making should be sterilised and free from moisture. Always use coloured bottles to store wine.

- Cover the mouth of the jar with a muslin cloth and lid.
- Keep for 21 days.
- Strain the mixture into a vessel and allow to rest.
- Carefully pour into bottles.
- Make sure to fill on 3/4th of each bottle.
- Allow to rest for at least a month before using.
- This is how the wine looked like after 4 days of resting.
