Dandelion Honey
The best vegan honey substitute that is gluten-free and nut-free.
Ingredients
- 4 cups Dandelions the yellow bits
- 3 cups Water
- ½ Lemon sliced
- Sugar dependent on liquid left over
Instructions
- Rinse your dandelions in cold water.
- Place water, dandelions and lemon in a pot and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow this to sit overnight.
- Strain out the flowers and lemon using a colander, reserving the liquid left behind.
- Measure the liquid left over, and place it in a pot with equal parts (weighted) white sugar. Bring to a boil, and simmer until desired consistency is achieved for approximately 25 minutes. If not thickening adjust sugar level as needed and continue to simmer.
- The liquid will firm up further once off of the burner, so take it off before it thickens too much.
