Elderberry Wine

4lb Elderberries
3lb gran sugar
1/2 oz yeast
6 cloves
1/2 oz well bruised root ginger
1 gallon cold water

Wash fruit. Boil till tender. Add sugar, cloves and ginger. Stir.
When lukewarm add yeast. Cover and leave for ten days. Then Strain and bottle (I've transferred to demijohn). Add sugar after a few weeks if required. Ready in six months. Better if longer. Good for colds,especially when hot
