How to make Maiwein (May Wine)
You need:
- Sweet Woodruff (Waldmeister – it grows in Nana’s garden)
- Inexpensive white wine (I use Savingnon Blanc)
1. Gather and wash the Sweet Woodruff
2. Tie it into bunches and trim
3. Take a sip of wine (gotta make room for those herbs!)
4. Put the herb bunches into the wine bottle and submerge
5. Chill for a few hours or even a week
6. Enjoy! Some people add sliced strawberries when serving, but they’re completely optional.
Zum Wohl!
