We put some serious thought into what our first drink was going to be, something seasonal, easy to find, free (obviously)...well, I hadn't cut the grass recently so the answer seemed obvious....Dandelions.Washing hundreds and hundreds of dandelions soon became very arduous but the recipe was pretty simple.
Add a lemon, an orange and some boiling water and leave for ten days. Strain and add sugar and yeast, leave for another 3 days. Strain and put in demi-johns, leave until clear (ours took about 3 weeks) then bottle and label.
We've got 5 bottles of the stuff but I guess it'll all have to wait until Jen is drinking again...apart from the half bottle I've got chilling in the fridge - purely for testing purposes you understand.--Matt

I will be interested to hear whether the dandelions have their reputed physiological effect.
Better put an incontinence sheet on the bed, just in case!!
Dave, I think he's already got one on already...
