Preparation
Dandelion flowers are harvested on sunny days, around noon, when they are fully open. Attention: we only pick the flower without a stem.
They are washed by rinsing in 1-2 waters, and then shaken well from the excess water and placed on a dry paper (~ an hour). It is very important to eliminate excess water to avoid fermentation!
Brought into the house, you will notice how the dandelion flowers close!
Honey and dandelion flowers are placed in layers in a jar. We put a little honey, then we put some dandelion flowers, and honey and so on. Of course, we could simply mix dandelion flowers with honey with a wooden spoon, making a porridge there ... It's not wrong, it's maybe even better, but I also wanted it to look good in the jar.
Close the jar with a lid and leave it to soak for 15-30 days in a cool, airy and dark place.
Optionally you can also add the juice from a lemon. This will speed up the maceration process a bit and give it a sour taste.
It is recommended to check the jar daily. When the honey begins to change its composition and becomes too liquid, our maceration is almost ready (but to have at least 14 days).
If you notice that the maceration would show small signs of fermentation (it can happen especially when you add lemon), then it means that the place where you keep it is too hot and it is recommended to move it to a cooler place, possibly a refrigerator ( if kept in the refrigerator, the mixture will need to soak longer for about 30 days).- When the maceration is ready, strain it through a sieve or gauze and place in a clean glass container.
It must be stored cold, refrigerated, hermetically sealed .
It is recommended to be consumed in a short time, maximum 3-6 months.
