- Grate the peel from the orange and lemons, avoiding the white pith.
- Put into a small Muslim bag with the clothes and bruised ginger
- Bring the water to the boil, drop in the bag and simmer gently for an hour.
- Take out the bag, place the sugar in a fermenting bucket, and pour the boiling water over it
- Stir to dissolve the sugar, and add the yeast nutrient and the juice of the citrus fruits.
- Allowed to cool to 21°C and then add the wine yeast.
- Leave closely covered for four days in a warm place, stir, pour into a fermenting jar, and fit an airlock.
- Leave until it clears.
- Once clear, siphon off for the first time into a fresh jar and fit an airlock.
- When the wine has cleared completely, has thrown a second deposit, and all fermentation has ceased, bottle.
