I made thisMint wine lastApril.It’s a really sweet dessert wine withasubtle minttaste.... Even though you can consume it after 30 days,the wine lookslittle cloudy.I got this very clear wine after keeping it for almost6 months. So I suggest you allow this wine to age for approximately 6 monthsafter whichyou will get amild mint flavored clear wine.

Mint -2 bunches or 4 cupschopped

Sugar – 1 ¼ kg

Water 3 ½ liter

Lemon juice – ½ cup

Lemon zest of 2 lemons

Yeast – ½ tsp

Method:

  • Thoroughly wash mint leaves and chop and place it in a big vessel.
  • Bring half of water to a boil and pour boiling water over mint.
  • Mix and cover the vessel with a lid and stand for around one hour.
  • Strain the mint liquor into a sterilized fermentation bottle / bharani.
  • Boil the remaining water and cover the strained mint leaves with boiling water and wait for another one hour, strain into the bottle and discard the leaves.
  • Add all of the other ingredients to the bottle like sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and yeast.
  • Stir the mixture well until all of the sugar has completely dissolved.
  • Cover the bottle and stir the mixture every day for 30 days.
  • After 30 days, strain the mixture through a cheese/ muslin cloth into clean and dry bottles and use.
  • After 30 days you can consume the wine, but it will be little cloudyandnot very clear. If you allow the mint wine to stand for 6 months you will get a very clear wine like in the picture.

      Don't use the cork bottles. Store in clean bottles with normal cap and do not close the cap tightly.

      Hi Swapna!
      First of all I have to thank u for all the lovely recipes u share.
      I tried making ur amla wine n its was a hit. Earlier I'd tried apple wine, guava wine n strawberry n they were equally good. This time I'm trying my hands on mango, rice, mint, ginger and lemon.

      Its day 3 today of starting all these. All of them seem to be doing fine except for the mint wine..it was sad to see fungal growth on it in the evening today.. as a ritual I stirred all of them in the morning but in the evening mint one showed fungus on it..
      what should I do now? Can it still be saved?

      Hi Swapna,

      I made the mint wine and today is day 30. however, it is extremely sour in taste. Is it supposed to taste like that or will it get less sour with time?

      Please reply. Also let me know if i could do something if its not supposed to be sour in taste.

      Thanks
      Arlene

        Hi Arlene,
        The wine should be sweet. If it is sour like vinegar, I am sorry it might have gone bad. you can add more sugar and see if it is sweet enough.

      I am a bit lost when it comes to buying yeast. No one seems to be selling "wine yeast" - can I use active yeast used for bread??

        I use regular bakers yeast, if you get wine yeast you can use that.

      Hello Swapna,

      I have made mint and rice wine and my family and friends have just loved it. So I started making it. Now some more people are asking for it. Therefore I started making. Thanks to you and your blog. However I would like to earn money for this. Could you please guide how to charge per bottle and how much bottle it should be.

      Thanks in advance.

      Sindhu
