Scale
Dandelion Honey:
- 4 cups dandelion petals
- 4 cups water
- 3 lemon slices (1/4-inch)
- 1/2 vanilla bean, split in half
- 2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients. Soak 4 cups dandelion petals in cold water for five minutes to allow time for any insects to exit, then drain.
- Prepare the mixture. Place petals in a heavy saucepan along with 4 cups water, 3 lemon slices cut into 1/4-inch slices, and 1/2 vanilla bean split in half.
- Simmer the mixture. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Steep the mixture. Remove pan from heat and let steep for 6 hours.
- Strain the tea. Strain dandelion tea through a cheesecloth and discard solids.
- Create the syrup. Place dandelion tea in a heavy saucepan and bring to a low boil. Gradually add 2 1/2 cups sugar to boiling liquid while stirring until sugar is dissolved.
- Thicken the syrup. Lower heat and let simmer uncovered until it reaches desired syrupy thickness. This may take about 1 hour. It will thicken more as it cools.
