Rinse the dandelion petals carefully under cool water to eliminate any dirt or insects. Remember, the goal is to use solely the petals to prevent any bitter notes from the green parts.
Lemon Infusion: Mix the dandelion petals with the lemon juice and zest in a sizable jar. For those who prefer a stronger citrus flavor, adjusting the lemon quantity to your liking is encouraged.
Sweetening the Mix: Add your honey or selected sweetener to the lemon and dandelion blend. The sweetener serves to extract the essence from the petals and lemon, marrying the flavors into the honey.
Infusion Time: Secure the jar and shake well. Place it in a spot that receives ample sunlight for about 1-2 days, giving it a good shake now and then to ensure the flavors are thoroughly blended.
Strain and Savor: Following the infusion, strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to separate the petals and zest. The result is a gorgeously infused dandelion honey with lemon, ready for your enjoyment in any form you desire.
