Dandelion honey

Ingredients for 1 servings:

• 300 g dandelion flower heads, picked on a dry day
• 2 kg sugar
• 2 lemons (or 1 sachet of citric acid – for preserving)
• 1 liter of water

Instructions

Working time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes; Total time approx. 2 hours 30 minutes

Dandelion spread

Pick the blossoms on a dry day. Wear gloves, otherwise your fingers will turn yellow. Pick the blossoms – anything GREEN that releases milk must be removed! Boil 1 liter of water, the sliced ​​lemons, and the petals for 30 minutes. Press the liquid through a cloth (a clean flannel diaper). Boil slowly with the sugar for 1 hour. Caution – it may foam over!!! Test for settling! Use a large pot and repeatedly “wash” the inside rim with cold water (and a brush). TIP: For cough honey: 1 jar of dandelion honey, 2 cloves, 2 handfuls of dandelion blossoms (again, without the green parts), 1 cinnamon stick, mix everything well. Let it rest in the sun for 2 weeks and then refill jars. My great-grandmother’s secret recipe!
