Martina’s Lavender Wine

Nah, sounds like a good country song.

That was an oxymoron if never I heard one.

Hey don't knock country music.

Just listen to "Who's your Daddy" and tell me that that don't git yer feet movin' no matter where you are!

I can't stand that arrogant guy who sings that song. Not appealing to men, and I just don't get it as a dance song.

Martina,


Do you grow your Lavender?

 

[MedPretzel]

I have planted two little lavender plants in my backyard, but they probably don't get enough sun. I usually try to get mine shipped to me. I can recommend http://www.oldtimeherbs.comfor a variety of supplies (dried flowers, herbs, etc). I am not sure how shipping is to Hawaii, but they are very forthcoming and helpful. They are based out of Kentucky.

A friend of mine here grows around 4 acres of lavender which he supplies to a friend on the Mainland where it is processed to "Lavender Oil" for various uses. I see how it grows and I was wondering whether or not you do the same. I personnaly dig the stuff! I was given samples as "pillow sprays" little baggies that you hang in the closet, oils, etc.


And, if you had to "pay" for the stuff, I would gladly sendyoua freezer bag full of "Aloha"....

You are very kind, Joe! Thank you. I don't know if I am going to make a Lavender wine again, though. It seems that the wine had a very strong, yet good, smell. I will probably have to tweak the recipe a little, but thanks again for the nice offer!





Hawaiian Aloha Wine!!!!

I think you could say "it's appropriate for the type of wine". The mum wine really developed into something great.





I'm unfortuantely one of those types of people: "If I made it myself, it tastes great" so, my 2 cents on this one is sort of biased.

ok I know that this post is ancient but I'm hoping that you can post your recipe and results for the mums wine..... I love putting a new and unusual recipe in my schedule for making, especially if they raise the eyebrow of my dad, who taught me how to make wine.
Thanks!
