Dandelion syrup/ jam (jelly in US)

This is the recipe I’m following:

What you’ll need:

• 2 cups packed dandelion petals (green parts removed)

• 2 cups water

• 2 tbsp lemon juice

• 3–3½ cups sugar

• 1 packet liquid pectin

** Step 1: Make your dandelion tea

Pour 2 cups boiling water over your petals.

Cover and let steep 12–24 hours (overnight is perfect).

Strain well—you want just the golden liquid.

**Step 2: Cook it down

Pour your strained tea into a pot.

Add lemon juice + sugar.

Bring to a rolling boil (one that won’t stop when stirred).

**Step 3: Add pectin

Stir in your liquid pectin.

Boil hard for 1–2 minutes.

**Step 4: Jar it up

Pour into clean jars.

Let cool and set (usually within a few hours).

**Tips:

• If it turns out soft, it still makes an amazing syrup!

• Taste before jarring—you can add a touch more lemon for brightness

• This is incredible on toast, or even in tea, I have in the past added syrup to icing sugar for the top of cakes and poured over ice cream.
