    My mother used to make nettle pop when i was a kid powerfull stuff not dandelion & Burdock but they are in the recipe so if you use it and leave the Nettles &Yarrow out you should make some thing drinkable .
    Right the recipe a couple of hanfulls of Dandelions and a couple handfulls of Burdock and if you leave out the Nettles and Yarrow .
    put the lot in a jampot type saucepan and fill up with water bring to boil and let it simmer for about 30 minutes then strain of when cool into a big mixing bowl with 1 pound of sugar and stir in .
    When the temp is luke warm put a round of toast with 1/2 ounce of bakers yeast spread on it and cover with a tea towel and leave for 10 or 12 days .
    After that strain of into bottles and leave for 2 weeks before drinking .
    I made some Nettle pop this way 2 years ago and it was just as i remembered it i gave the old type way of doing it because when i was a kid we did not have Demijons and special yeast or fancy fermenting buckets .
    the Yeast you can buy from the in store bakerey in big supermarkets Tescos do not charge but some may good luck jacob

        I did this once with a wine I made! I remember the yeast expanded the toast and the slice of toast was hanging over the side of the bucket like something from a science fiction film!

          It is the bigest slice of toast you will ever see and if you keep hens chuck it out for them and they go cross legged as well jacob
