So much is talked about the greens and the roots but when it comes to flowers, the most popular is dipped in batter and fried up.
However today, I want to talk about making a wonderful sweet an taste cold drink.. I am making a quart of tea, I picked 18 of the most perfect large flowers I could find
Then I pulled the flower off the greens (the green adds a bitterness to it)
I put the flowers into a steal pot with four cups of cold water and brought up to a slow simmer, the timer was set and went for 5 min, at that point I strained till though my linen, but for folks that do not have straining linen, I recommend cheesecloth, add honey or sugar to taste, chill well and serve







Oh, what a gorgeous colour!
I remember, only once ever, smelling the scent of Dandelion nectar and it was incredible… Does your drink have a scent?
very light floral scent to it, it is such a pretty color
Just about to give it a go 🙂
its certainly a light note to it, compared to a fruit or green like nettle tea, but as a flower tea, it holds it own.. enjoy
I’ll have to go foraging for these! Gonna try it!
