In "Dandelion Wine," a story written by Ray Bradbury, one of America's most famous science fiction writers, depicting his childhood, 12-year-old Douglas is tempted by an old man's offer of 10 cents for each bag of dandelions he collects, and sets off to harvest the countless dandelions that bloom in the town square.
After receiving the dandelion, the grandfather carries it to the basement and says:

"The darkness of the cellar burns brightly with the arrival of the dandelions. The wine press stands cold and open. It warms up as the flowers are poured in."

What does it mean to "burn brightly" and "be warm"? With this curiosity, we decided to collect dandelions. One spring day, the Farming Friday team gathered in the schoolyard of the former Oigawa Elementary School, which had been closed down. With baskets in hand, we absentmindedly picked the fields of dandelions that were blooming all over the place.
It was such tedious and endless work that I could almost suspect that new flowers were blooming behind me as I picked them, but when I separated the petals and sepals of the basket full of flowers, soft clusters of yellow that truly "burned brightly" appeared.
The ingredients are extracted with hot water and then squeezed out, and the lemon mash, strawberry mash, and sugar that were being prepared in the neighboring tank at the same time are added and the mixture is observed.
After a few days, vigorous fermentation began, the liquid began to bubble and heat up. Is this what my grandfather meant when he said "it gets warm"?
Once the fermentation has settled, a small amount of sugar is added to encourage fermentation in the bottle, and the dandelion liquor, colored yellow and red, is complete.
The bitterness and subtle aroma of dandelion blends well with the acidity of fruit.
"Dandelion liquor. When I say this word, I get the taste of summer on my tongue."
A taste of summer as written by Bradbury. Try it for yourself.

The White is fermented with lemon yeast, while the Red and Orange are fermented with strawberry yeast.
White and Red are sparkling wines fermented in the bottle.
Orange, which is fermented to the end, is lightly fermented and has a high alcohol content.

In "Dandelion Wine," a story by Ray Bradbury, one of America's leading science fiction writers, about his boyhood, a 12-year-old boy named Douglas is offered 10 cents by his grandfather for every bag of dandelion flowers he collects, and harvests countless dandelions that bloom in the square.
After receiving the dandelions, the old man took them to the basement and said,
"The darkness of the basement is the only place where you can see the dandelions.
The darkness in the cellar burns brightly when the dandelions arrive. The grape press stands cold and open-mouthed. When the flowers are thrown in, they warm it.”

What does it mean to "burn brightly" and "warm itself"? With this interest, we decided to collect dandelion flowers. One spring day, the Farming Friday team gathered in the schoolyard of the former abandoned Aikawa Elementary School. With baskets in their hands, they mindlessly picked the dandelion flowers that were blooming all over the area.
The work was so steady and endless that one might have suspected that new flowers were blooming behind them as they were being picked, but when the basket full of flowers was separated into petals and buds, a soft yellow muddy mass appeared that seemed to "burn brightly."

After extracting the ingredients with boiling water, we squeezed it and added lemon mash, strawberry mash, and sugar, which were in the process of being prepared in a neighboring tank at the same time.
After a few days, a vigorous fermentation began, and the liquid began to bubble and heat up.
Is this what grandpa meant when he said "it warms up"?
When the fermentation settled down, a small amount of sugar was added to promote fermentation in the bottle and bottled.
The yellow and red colored dandelion liquor was completed.
The dandelion-like bitterness, subtle aroma, and fruit-derived acidity blend together.
"Dandelion wine. When I say the words, my tongue tastes summer."
The taste of summer, Bradbury wrote. We hope you will try it too.
