It’s so funny how dandelion flowers are, for anyone on a quest for the perfect grassy yard, your worst enemy — but for our family we make a happy dance when we find because we make dandelion syrup with them.
Here is our recipe:
Ingredients:
1 ½ cups dandelion flowers, no stemsmaskrossirap
1 cup sugar
3 cups water
Grated peel from one small lemon
Directions:
1. Remove the petals from the sepal. Be sure not to allow any green into the petals, as it will add bitterness to the syrup.
2. Place the petals into a medium pot and cover with 3 cups water and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit overnight.
3. Strain dandelion water into a bowl, pressing on the flowers with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid.
4. Return water to pot and add sugar, lemon peel and simmer over low heat until thickened.
5. Allow to cool, and pour into a clean jar or bottle. Store covered in refrigerator.
