- Cut up the rhubarb into half-inch lengths,
- Chop the lemon thyme (Approximately the size of mint when making mint sauce)
- Pour boiling water over them,
- Then add the raisins or concentrate.
- Stir every day for two weeks.
- Strain onto the sugar, stir thoroughly and add yeast nutrient, wine yeast, or a level teaspoon of granulated sugar.
- Leave to ferment, closely covered and in a warm place, for another two weeks.
- Strain into the fermentation vessel and fit an airlock,
- Leave until it has fermented right out.
- You may prefer to add half a pound to one pound more sugar to obtain a much sweeter wine, but this is best done at the end, to taste, not at the outset.
