I have to admit that I followed a recipe I found on YouTube.

A bit of background. This is basically Finnish party wine. It in just sugar, water, bread yeast….yes bread yeast…don’t judge, and fruit. That is it.

The recipe I followed added mint to try to make a mojito flavor. Here is that recipe.

2lbs of cane sugar. White sugar.

11/2oz fresh mint muddled.

Spring water. Not tap water, and not filtered water because you want the minerals, just not the chlorine.

I added 3 yeast grams of yeast nutrient to make sure that the yeast, Red Star Cote de Blanc, has everything it needs to ferment.

This is for a one gallon batch, by the way.

There is a video of the first taste of this mojito-styled drink….
