Dandelion Syrup
Ingredients:
3 cups Dandelion petals, green base portion removed
3 cups water
6 cups sugar
1/4 c lemon juice
Directions:
Gather the flowers and remove the green portion. You will need 6 cups of flowers to get 3 cups of petals. The easiest way to remove the green portion is to clip it off with scissors. A little green remaining is okay. Too much green will make it bitter.
Bring water to boil and remove from heat. Add flowers. Mix well. Refrigerate overnight.
Strain liquid and add to pot. Add sugar and lemon juice and bring to a rolling boil. Reduce to simmer for desired thickness.
Pour into hot sterilized jars filling to 1/4" headspace. Wipe rims and add lids and rings. Process 10 minutes in hot water bath.

ReplyDeleteI think it would taste wonderful in green tea. Go ahead and give it a try. Dandelions are very good for you.

ReplyDeleteCan honey be used instead (we never consume sugar)? Or will this ferment, thus eating up all the sugar in it? Thank you!
