Bissap Wine
-
1/2 kg
bissap leaves
-
2 kg
sugar
- Soak bissap in 3-4 liters of water for 12-24 hours
- Strain liquid and dilute to 5 liters in a metal pot
- Bring to boil and dissolve in sugar
- If desired add tea and strain
- Dilute to 10 liters
- Allow to cool (Heat will kill the yeast and the reaction will not work in general over 82°F)
- Add yeast
- Allow to sit uncovered for 12 hours
- Transfer to a bidon
- Cover with a condom or plastic bag
- Condom will become erect as the yeast eats the sugar. Once the erection goes away after 2-3 weeks the wine is ready to drink
