Step 1

Rinse your dandelions in cold water.

Step 2

Place water, dandelions and lemon in a pot and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Turn off the heat and allow this to sit overnight.

Step 4

Strain out the flowers and lemon using a colander, reserving the liquid left behind.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

The liquid will firm up further once off of the burner, so take it off before it thickens too much.
