Anyone ever made wine from redbud flowers? Asking for a friend. Here in central Pennsylvania, the flowers are abundant, especially this spring.
My winemaking experience is very basic: I've made hard cider before, and am making dandelion wine for the first time now. My friend has a bunch of what he's calling "redbud extract" or "redbud tea." You get the idea. Just boiled water poured over the flowers. He made much of it into jelly, but doesn't have time in the next few days to make more. We figured maybe we could still try making wine out of it. If not, I'll make the jelly myself, even though I strongly prefer fruit jams. But I digress.
Even if you don't have a specific recipe for redbud wine, does anyone have some kind of generic flower wine recipe that I could try to adapt?
