Honeysuckle wine question

[Copperlion87]

Can I use Japanese dried honeysuckle to make wine? If so, what ratio of dried would I use in place of 6 cups of fresh honeysuckle flower?

Has anyone on here ever made a good honeysuckle wine? Any tips?

The ratio of fresh to dry herbs is usually 3 tsp fresh to 1 tsp dried, so maybe try that. I've always used fresh flowers - I'd be very interested to know how dried turns out, if when dried it keeps it's nectar flavor or not. I've made mint wine, where I couldn't use it immediately so I dried it. It turned out great, so maybe your dried honeysuckle will do the same. Please let us know!
