In case you need to smile today… take a moment out in nature. Smell the roses. Feed the birds.
@Yarnchick huh! I never knew that either. That’s pretty awesome. I hope your sugar comes out perfect
@LnzyHou @MotherDucker cool, huh? Apparently, the best flavor happens when you pluck the blooms (no green parts) and infuse some sugar for a few days. About a 1/2 c of blooms per cup of sugar in a jar. Spread out on some parchment for an hour each day, then return to jar & shake it up. After 2-7 days, sift out the dried blooms and put in a clean jar.
@MotherDucker thanks! I'm going to try making lilac sugar for my tea💜 Pinterest has so many recipes and I had no idea that the blooms were edible🤯
