Instructions
- Harvest dandelion blossoms from a clean, un-sprayed location. The blossoms should be whole open dandelion flowers.
- Carefully remove the dandelion petals (yellow parts), removing all the green parts. Do not leave any green parts, as they're bitter (but technically edible). From 1 quart of blossoms, you should get about 1 cup of petals.
- Place the dandelion petals in a quart jar and cover with 750 ml of vodka (or neutral spirit). Cap with a tight fitting lid and shake to mix.
- Allow the mixture to infuse for about 2 to 3 weeks, shaking every few days.
- Once infused, strain through a fine mesh strainer.
- Sweeten to taste with a light honey or sugar. I'd suggest about 1/4 cup for this recipe, but use more or less as it suits you.
- Bottle and store, or enjoy immediately.
