Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Pick the bright yellow petals from the dandelions, leaving most of the green parts behind.
Rinse the petals gently to remove any dirt or critters.
In a pot, combine the rinsed petals and water, bring to a simmer, then cover and refrigerate for 24 hours.
Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth, pressing to extract all the juice.
Add sugar and lemon juice to the strained liquid, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Return the mixture to heat and simmer until it thickens to a syrupy consistency.
Let it cool slightly, then pour into a jar for storage.

Notes

Ensure to use only the yellow petals for the best flavor.
Store the syrup in a cool, dark place for longer shelf life.
Great for pancakes, toast, or tea.
