Dandelion Honey

Dandelion Honey is a unique, sweet syrup made from the bright yellow petals of dandelions, offering a floral and earthy flavor. This delightful Paleo dessert is perfect for drizzling over pancakes or yogurt, providing a natural sweetness without refined sugars.

Ingredients

• Dandelion petals - 1 cup (approximately 200g)
• Water - 2 cups (480ml)
• Raw honey - 1/2 cup (120ml)
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons (30ml)
• Cinnamon - 1/2 teaspoon (2g)

Steps

1. Harvest dandelion flowers from a clean area, ensuring no pesticides have been used.
2. Carefully remove the yellow petals from the green base of the flowers, as the greens can be bitter.
3. In a medium pot, combine the dandelion petals and water, bringing it to a boil over medium heat.
4. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.
5. Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl, discarding the solids.
6. Return the liquid to the pot and add the raw honey, lemon juice, and cinnamon.
7. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer for another 5-10 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
8. Remove from heat and let it cool before transferring to a clean jar.
