Dandelion Flower Syrup

Ingredients

1 cup of dandelion flowers
1 cup water
1 cup honey
3 Tbsp lemon juice

Directions

Wash the flowers and spin dry them like you would lettuce.

Cut their base to detach the yellow petals from the green leaves; you only want the petals as the green part is bitter. You can do this by hand but it is faster with a knife.

Place the flowers in a pot with 1 cup of water; I use filter water.

Mix well until all petals are covered.

Bring to a boil and boil for 5 minutes.

Then simmer on very low heat for 25 minutes.*

Strain the liquid from the flowers into a second pot.

Add honey and stir till melted.

Now mix in lemon juice.

Let cool and store in a glass jar in the refrigerator; the honey acts as a preservative.
