Wash off your dandelion lawn and use their flowers for health and for chewing. Try to make them so popular with us, for example, honey, which is not actually honey, or a delicate sorbet. S
ome people like to see them on the lawn, others like weeds. We are talking about dandelion, which can take root almost anywhere and with its long root they are almost indestructible. Dandelion is a perennial two-uterine plant in the chicory family. When she blooms, her "paraplíček" flies wide. It grows practically everywhere, because it is unpretentious and very durable on the soil. All parts of the plant can be used. The most active substances are in the root, which need to be collected before the plant blooms. Dandelion flowers can be decorated with desserts, enrich the salad, but the most popular and widest is the production of honey. It's syrup in the truest sense of the word, but that doesn't change its effects.

You can wash the flowers in cold water so that there are no beetles in them, but this will also get rid of pollen. If you collect flowers in a clean place, try it without rinsing. Flowers with lemon cut into slices either pour boiling water and leave to infly, or boil for 15 minutes, then leave to infly. You can also add citric acid, but it is not necessary. Stir occasionally during 24 hours of leaching. Then overcook over the canvas, add the sugar and cook slowly until the mixture starts to scoal. Test the final consistency by saucy on a saucer and letting it cool down. Slow boiling usually lasts an hour to an hour and a half, then the honey begins to pull in folk terms. Pour the finished honey into well-washed glasses with lids and leave to cool. Store in the dark and use for colds.
