A. Here is your Ginger Wine Recipe from my good friend Connie. Ginger Wine Recipe (an ancient Cornish recipe) Ingredients:

* 2 gallons of water 6lbs of sugar
* 4oz root ginger
* 12 lemons
* 3oz fresh yeast
* A ½pt brandy raisins (if desired)

Method Boil the sugar and water. Add the ginger and boil gently for half an hour. Peel the lemons and pour the hot sugar and water onto the peel. Allow to cool. When cool, add the juice of the lemons and the yeast. Put it into demi-johns and when it has stopped working divide ½pt brandy between the demi-johns. Some raisins can be added at this stage if desired.
