As children most of us remember the first of May and many the special little rituals that accompany this day. While the reason behind these fun games may be forgotten, to many the act of dancing around the May pole and surprising someone with flowers are still things to do on May 1.
Many wine lovers may have heard about May wine, but few have actually enjoyed this amazing concoction for themselves, but it is actually very easy to make. May wine is actually a wine punch of sorts that is infused with herbs for added flavor.
To make May wine three simple ingredients; light German wine, fresh woodruff, and a fruit garnish. A wine such as Moselle or Riesling will suffice to make your May wine and once you perfect your personal mix you can use them as personalized wine gifts for celebrating May Day with friends. To make simply allow the woodruff to steep in the wine for several hours in the refrigerator.
While the woodruff does not have much of an aroma alone once it steeps the wine will gain a whole new flavor that can best be appreciated when tasted alongside the original none steeped wine.
