Cooking method

Step 1:

Rinse the dandelion blossoms, slice the lemon, and put both in a saucepan. Cover with boiling water and simmer for 30 minutes.
Step 2:

Then cover with a lid and set it in a cool spot for 24 hours.
Step 3:

After it has steeped, squeeze out the flowers and lemon. Put the liquid back on the heat, add the sugar, and cook for 2 hours.
Step 4:

Pour the finished syrup, still hot, into sterilized jars and seal them right away.

This syrup has the loveliest aroma. I make it all the time, 3 or 4 batches at once, then stir it into water or tea for my kids. It's wonderfully soothing for colds.
