I ran out of sugar so I was only able to make three bottles. Here's one of them.

Adding sugar increases the alcohol percentage of the final product. Without adding sugar, you would probably get something about as strong as beer (i.e. 4%). Adding sugar can bring this up to about 14% (i.e. similar to wine).

Anyway if anyone cares, here's my recipe...

Ingredients:

3L juice in a bottle
3L empty bottle
Yeast
Sugar
Airlock/balloon/condom

1. Pour half of the juice into the empty bottle so that you have two bottles that are each 50% full.

2. Add 1 tablespoon of yeast to each bottle.

3. Add 2 cups of sugar to each bottle.

4. Add 3 cups of water to each bottle (the bottles should be about 80% filled up by now).

5. Replace cap and shake each bottle gently for a few seconds until most/all of the sugar is dissolved.

6. Remove cap and put airlock/balloon/condom on the mouth of each bottle. If you are using a balloon/condom then poke some holes into the balloon/condom with a needle.

7. Place in a warm shaded area away from direct sunlight (e.g. in a cupboard) and wait at least 2 weeks (the longer the better).

Put it in the fridge before drinking. If it's cloudy, filter it through a pantyhose.
