May Wine
May Wine is a traditional beverage made by infusing white wine, typically Riesling or Moscato, with the delicate flowers of the woodruff plant. This drink is often enjoyed during the spring and early summer months, particularly around the celebration of May Day. The infusion gives the wine a sweet, herbal flavor and a light green hue.
To prepare May Wine, fresh or dried woodruff is steeped in the wine for several hours or overnight. It is commonly served chilled, sometimes garnished with fresh fruits like strawberries or served over ice. This refreshing drink is popular at outdoor gatherings and picnics.
