You're creating a beautiful golden syrup using dandelion flowers and sugar — no cooking required. The magic happens on your windowsill over three days as the sugar dissolves and draws out the flower's golden color, with just a little stirring needed along the way. Once strained, you'll have a versatile syrup that's ready to brighten up your drinks.

    Spread out the flowers

    Let the freshly picked dandelion flowers sit spread out on the table for a while, so any little bugs can crawl out. Then place them in a large container, ideally a glass water jug.

  2. 2/5

    Cover with sugar

    Cover the flowers with sugar, seal the container or cover it with cling film, and leave it on a windowsill for two days. Stir occasionally. It's best if the container gets some sunshine during this time, as it helps the sugar dissolve faster.

    After two days, pour in the water and leave it on the windowsill for one more day, stirring several times a day.

About this recipe

Dandelion, also known as common dandelion, grows in every meadow, garden and backyard. How do you get the very best out of this humble herb? Dry the root and leaves, then grind them into a powder — perfect for brewing a wonderful healing tea. Some believe that tea made from dandelion root can even help with cancer. Whether you're picking the flowers, leaves or root, gather them from clean, unpolluted spots and never near roadsides. Only then will they have the right beneficial properties.
