serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  over 5 hrs

ingredients

3 pounds rhubarb
3 pounds sugar
1 cup black tea
1 sachet general purpose wine yeast
2 Campden tablets

directions

Wipe the rhubarb, but do not peel. Chop into small pieces. Place in a large bowl and cover with sugar. Leave overnight until the sugar has dissolved.

Strain off the syrup and cover the rhubarb with water to rinse off any remaining sugar. Add this liquid to the syrup and make it up to 1 gallon with water and cold black tea to add astringency.

Add the wine yeast and transfer the liquid to a demi-john fitted with an airlock. Leave to ferment.

Using a hydrometer, stop fermentation using Campden tablets when the reading reaches around 1.01.

Leave the wine to clear naturally; alternatively use a vegetarian clearing agent (e.g., Bentonite). Pour the wine into sterilized bottles and leave for a minimum of 3 months.

If kept in a cool place, the wine may be stored for up to two years.
