How much dandelion wine can you make from one dandelion?
Assuming you mean how much wine can be made from the dandelion plant, in terms of blossoms, it takes about 120 of them to make one glass. However, many wine recipes only use the dandelion petals, in which case you’d need about 300-400 petals per glass. If you’re planning on making dandelion wine, be sure to choose a sunny day to harvest them since they close up at night. You should also avoid using dandelions that have been treated with pesticides.
