Ingredients
  

Syrup Base
  • 2 cups dandelion petals yellow petals only
  • 2 cups water filtered
  • 1 cup honey raw preferred
Flavor Enhancers
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice fresh
  • 1 2 teaspoon vanilla extract optional

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Strainer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Glass Jar
  • Freezer
  • Spoon

Method
 

  1. Rinse dandelion petals gently and remove any green pieces for smoother floral flavor.
  2. Add petals and water into a saucepan and simmer until the liquid turns golden.
  3. Strain the mixture carefully to remove petals while keeping the infused liquid warm.
  4. Stir honey, lemon juice, and vanilla extract into the warm liquid until fully combined.
  5. Simmer briefly until the syrup thickens slightly with silky smooth texture before cooling.

Notes

Simmer longer for thicker syrup or less for lighter pourable texture. Cool completely before storing because warm syrup thickens gradually. Freeze small portions in ice cube trays for future use. Handle carefully while hot because syrup becomes sticky quickly. Customize flavors with cinnamon, lavender, or orange zest. Store refrigerated for two weeks.
