Are you looking for a recipe for longevity? One such recipe may exist. And it isn’t associated with any chemicals, because it’s connected to something that comes from nature. This is a miracle for longevity and for your health, dandelion syrup. You may know these plants only as pretty flowers. The fact is they can help. And the common dandelion isn’t the only related plant. See how to make such a syrup.
What do you need?
It’s nothing complicated and you could say the procedure is very similar to when you make dandelion honey.
- 250 dandelion flowers
- 2 large lemons
- 1.5 liters of water
- 1 kg of cane sugar
It’s also important to ensure that the flowers are of good quality. It’s best to collect them, for example, in a meadow in nature and not in a park in the middle of the city, where they are of course at risk of being dirty and dusty. It’s also advisable to spread the flowers out after harvesting and let them dry for 24 hours.
Supply
I must say that dandelions do not grow all year round, but literally only a few weeks a year. So prepare for this time and make this syrup to stock up. That’s the only way to make sure you can use it throughout the year. It will help you stay in good condition.
Preparation
Put everything into a glass container: dandelion flowers, sliced lemons, sugar and water. Stir it several times and add yeast. The ideal steeping/fermentation time is 24 hours. Then it’s ready to use; first strain it through a sieve and use a cloth.
Then you can choose one of two procedure options. If you’re looking for a healthier alternative, keep the syrup cold and dark. To obtain a syrupy consistency, the mixture should be heated while stirring constantly. It will thicken, and you should stop the boiling entirely when you are completely satisfied with the consistency.
Usage
Since it’s a syrup, you can take a teaspoon daily. But you can also use it as a sweetener. It can be the base for various delicious homemade lemonades and can also be a good base for tea if you want to warm up.
Effects
You already know how to prepare it. And now let’s look at the specific effects. You’ll certainly be surprised by how many there are. We begin with relief for bronchial disorders and cough. The syrup also supports liver function and its regeneration. One mustn’t forget its general cleansing effect. This applies especially to the intestinal area, as well as to the liver or stomach. It will also be beneficial for the kidneys and the urinary system. There are a number of advantages and disadvantages.
