DANDELION WINE

Found this and thought it was interesting. I had some years ago, took me many hours to drive home, I was on a circular driveway at a neighbors, who lived across the road from us, just kept going around in circles, much to the delight of our neighbors, who just stood and watched.
MAKE AT YOUR OWN RISK ....."A number of inquiries have been received at the Tribune for a receipt how to make dandelion wine. The following is said to be the best method known: Take three quarts dandelion blossoms; put one gallon boiling water on them; let stand 24 hours; strain; add three pounds sugar and let boil one hour; cool and add the peelings and juices of two oranges and two lemons; 1 table spoon yeast; one pint molasses; let stand ten days; then strain and put in jugs and let stand two months; bottle."
