Do you have fresh dandelion from the garden and just wonder what you can do with it? Use the flowers for the next three simple dandelion recipes and produce dandelion honey, dandelion jelly or dandelion tea yourself.
Dandelion recipes: What effect does the medicinal herb have and can you eat it?
In naturopathy, dandelion has long been known as a medicinal herb. It supports the functions of the gastrointestinal system and important organs such as kidneys and liver. However, its effect is not limited to digestion. Because dandelion stimulates the material change in the body and thus helps to burn fat. Almost all parts of the plant can be edited, whereby you can basically use the flowers for honey, syrup or tea, the leaves fresh in salads and press juice out of the roots. Only allergy sufferers who are sensitive to baskets should avoid the dandelion. However, stems and roots are poisonous in large quantities and are inedible even in small ones.
Personally, I have only made sweets with dandelions so far - jelly and honey are already program for me, last year I also prepared the tea and I am fascinated by the taste. Of course, it depends on personal preferences, because the tart leaves of the plant regularly end up in the salad with a friend of mine. In doing so, she only plucks the fresh, young leaves and I prefer to use the fresh yellow flowers.
Furthermore, you should be careful when used and only take plants that have not come into contact with pesticides or organic unscropher. I personally do not take any plants that grow on the edge of the garden and always fit well that the neighbors' cat does not find their way into my little green oasis. I would not use plants that grow in close proximity to streets.
Dandelion honey recipe without sugar
The dandelion honey is actually the vegan alternative to the bee honey. The super delicious syrup is made exclusively from plants and looks confusingly similar to the real honey. For the right viscous consistency, you put orange juice and lemon in the pot. Instead of with sugar, I sweeten it with apple gicks. Whether as a spread or pancake: I always have dandelion honey on the table in May.
Make dandelion jelly yourself: best recipe
Dandelion jelly is healthy, tasty and has a refreshing fruity grade. My favorite recipe is prepared with orange juice and is great for the transition period between spring and summer. The most important thing in this recipe is the consistency: the jelly should simmer until it becomes viscous. It will thicken after cooking, so you should take care of it well and always make a sample. It is also important to stir the jelly occasionally.
Make dandelion tea yourself to lose weight yourself
From the flowers of the wild herb you can also make a delicious dandelion tea yourself. It is the perfect miracle drink that supports you in losing weight. The tea can be varied as desired - for example with fresh berries, with mint leaves or with green tea and can be sweetened with dandelion honey. In May you can prepare it from fresh flowers, from June you can dry the flowers.
