Ingredients :
- Between 2 and 4 cups of dandelion petals
- 4 cups (1 litre) boiling water
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 packet powdered pectin (1.75 oz or 6 tbsp)
- 4 cups (1000ml) sugar
Preparation :
- Remove the petals from the green base of the flower. It takes you between 2 and 4 cups. The measurement doesn’t seem accurate, but that’s for making a tea…the more the better. Transfer to a bowl.
- Add 4 cups of boiling water to the bowl.
- Leave to rest in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
- Pass through a sieve and press well on the petals to extract as much liquid as possible from the dandelion petals.
- In a cauldron, combine your dandelion tea, lemon juice and pectin. Boil the water.
- Add the sugar and bring to a boil again.
- Boil for 2 minutes.
- Remove from the heat and remove the white film with a ladle.
- Pour into mason jars.
- You can freeze or sterilize in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal and store at room temperature.
