Hello, finally I found the recipe, my grandma in CZ made this when I was little but she used whole flower, maybe even some leaves I remember the pot not only yellow. Btw. you probably meant 1 kg of water or 1 litre or 1000ml, equal to 1 kg or 1000gram of sugar; 1 pound is 452gram. I"ll be making this likely tomorrow, we called it Dandelion Honey and spread it on buttered bread, in tea this would make another special flavor like ginger syrup, I like the sweet bitter taste! - Yes the syrup is a bit runny but awesomely yummy :)Es gruessli vo NH.

The syrup came out great... I am wondering if there is any way to use substitute sugar? I need to cut sugar out of my diet any way I can...
thank you...

Over the last couple of weeks, my yard has been a bright yellow wave of dandelions. After a snowy, protracted winter, the flowers seemed all the more precious, and there was a part of me that just wanted to bottle up that sunshine and keep it for a dark day. I tried your recipe for syrup, and it worked beautifully!

Thank you for this recipe and for your photos. You have a real gift for seeing. I could practically taste the pollen. Also, your instructions to select a field wonderful enough to drink were dead on. Every time I use my syrup, I will be thinking of my lovely yard in the mountains, of my young children who helped pick the flowers, and of that wonderful rush of springtime.

Thank you for the recipe of Dandilion Syrup I had great fun making this for the first time. However once made how long can I store the Syrup for in a sealed bottle or jar?

The day I made it, it tasted very sweet but, the syrup has changed so much in 24 hours. As now it taste more honey like so much so my wife asked me if I had added so honey to it.

I have added it to my coffee instead of suggar, I also added it to some plain yogurt and strawberry"s But mostly I have just watered it down to make a refreshing drink.

Thank Sandy Taylor

I was wondering, can you make candy out of this syrup, and if so how? I am interested in learning how to make floral candies, such as some lovely violet candies I had in France. I don"t know how to go about it naturally though, do you?

I made this syrup yesterday and it is awfully runny. Is this normal? It is definitely not as thick as honey or maple syrup like I had expected. Was Iwrong to assume it would be thick? I only simmered the mixture (dandelion-infused water, sugar, and lemon) for 2 hours exactly. Should I have done it longer? Or at a higher temperature? Please advise. I am feeling frustrated with my "syrup".

Thanks so much for this tutorial. I love the dandelion and elderberry syrups available in Europe and am so glad to find a tutorial like this to make my own here in the States.

I love this new receipe. Have always dandy lions as we called them as kids. I gather the blossums and gently wash them, shake off excess water and put them into a paper bag. I add flour, salt, and a little fresh ground pepper. Lightly shake and fry in cooking oil or vegetable shortening. Taste a little like oysters. Our family jas always collected early spring leaves for salads. Thanks Julia

This is the first time I"ve ever encountered a recipe for Dandelion Syrup. I"ve long known (and used) Dandelion salads and Dandelion Wine -and not necessarily in that order. :) But I"ll definitely have to give the syrup a try.

MsC, next time you have your sister around you ought to present this as honey, I think she might have associated the grassiness with how you made the syrup/jelly.

Elizabeth, I am glad my grandmother"s humble dandelion syrup recipe completed your tour of the dandelion world. Amazing flower indeed! Do you make dandelion-flavored soap bars?

We also make this from Elderflower and St. John�s wort. Maybe other plants work as well.

I think white sugar will work best. Depending on how hot you cook the sugar you can have syrup or a jelly, which is also used as jam on bread here in Switzerland. A versatile plant indeed!

In fact, we call this "Dandellion Honey" (thought it is not honey, of course) in our country (Czechia), and use it like flower honey (butter-honey spread for bread etc.). Honey is sure more beneficial to our health but this is much cheaper and fun to prepare.It was new for me to read that it can be used as syrup or even jam! Thanks for the article!

Very interesting and I can"t wait to try it as I grow lots of dandelions at home, but does it matter what type of sugar to use, ie. caster, brown, or plain white?I will place you on my favourites so I can check out more great recipescheers!

Thanks for the recipe! I made some today, and am drinking a glass now- it"s really good. It tastes a lot like honey, interestingly enough.

I posted a link in my own little yellow roundup~ nothing like the great job that Barbara did!Yours is the most clever by far! My grandmother used to make dandelion greens... we thought it was so cool to go out and pick them. Little did we realize she had us weeding her garden at the same time.

Hi, Just going through Barbara"s great round up. My children are always picking dandelions and now we can make good use of them. Thank you

What a beautiful photo essay! There are plenty of dandelions near my house, but I"ve only made dandelion salad so far. Thanks for inspiring me to make dandelion syrup soon, too!Pille from Nami-nami foodblog

Dandelions are such friendly plants, you can eat them in salad and make syrups and jams from their flowers. And they are so beautiful both when flowering and afterwards, with their white heads sending little parachutes all around! Tell your father to spare them.

Thank you for passing on the Dandelion Syrup recipe. Living in the states I watched my father use chemicals to kill those "weeds" every spring in search of the perfect manicured lawn. I wish more people knew about the culinary possibilities of dandelions. I"ll do my part to spread the word amongst friends in the U.S.

Hi Francois. Thank you for joining A Taste of Yellow. Your beautifully documented Dandelion Syrup looks wonderful. I wonder if it would work with New Zealand dandelions. I"ll be asking around and hopefully I can make it.
