Homemade Dandelion Syrup

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Dandelion Syrup.

1. Step 1

   To begin your dandelion syrup adventure, don a pair of gloves to avoid any pesky stains.

2. Step 2

   Gently pluck the vibrant dandelion petals from their stems, discarding the stems and leaves until you gather approximately 5 ½ ounces of those sunny petals.

3. Step 3

   Next, place the petals in a container and immerse them completely in water.

4. Step 4

   Seal the container tightly and let it steep in a cool, dark spot for up to 24 hours, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

5. Step 5

   After steeping, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan, pressing the petals firmly to extract every drop of liquid.

6. Step 6

   Stir in raw cane sugar and a splash of lemon juice, then bring the concoction to a lively boil over medium heat.

7. Step 7

   Once it reaches a rolling boil, lower the heat and let it simmer uncovered for about 45 minutes, or until it transforms into a thin syrup.

8. Step 8

   As the syrup cools, it will thicken, creating a luscious texture.

9. Step 9

   Finally, pour your golden syrup into a clean bottle and store it in the refrigerator, where it will keep for up to a month.
