Dandelion Syrup

Dandelion syrup is a great homemade honey substitute for vegans. Only use the yellow parts of the dandelion blossoms so the syrup won't taste bitter.

Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Pick dandelion petals off the stems. Wear gloves to avoid staining your hands. Measure 5 1/2 ounces of petals and discard the stems and leaves.
Step 2
Transfer dandelion petals to a container and cover completely with water. Cover and steep in a cool, dark place, up to 24 hours.
Step 3
Drain through a fine-mesh sieve into a saucepan, squeezing petals as dry as possible with your hands. Stir in sugar and lemon juice and bring to a boil over medium heat. Simmer uncovered until a thin syrup forms, about 45 minutes. Cool until syrup thickens slightly.
Step 4
Pour into a bottle and place in the refrigerator.
