Dandelion syrup ???

[Alaskan]

@farmerjan did you think it helped at all?

Personally, for dandelion, I like flowers shattered over a salad, and baby leaves made into pesto or pureed into a soup.

The baby leaves are not bitter.

No, never saw any pluses or minuses from the dandelion syrup. Wish I could say that it helped. Might have some other benefits, but did not help the allergies. Knees replaced now so no pain in those joints anymore.

disappointing. I hear dandelion root is like magical stuff.

Well I never considered making a syrup but I did make a tincture but to tell the honest truth it seems to be good for almost everything. I have taken more to the taste of it as food…like a side dish sautéed in butter with a little garlic. I generally forget to take it if it’s medicine but I love eating. It’s a plus if what I eat is actually healthy.

The petals, dried, make a nice tea.
