Pampeliskovy syrup(med)

Vim,ze je spousta receptu na tzv.pampeliskovy med a kazdy je trosku jiny.Ja se s vami podelim o ten muj,ktery delam nejmene 15 let.
400 hlavicek kvetu pampelisek natrham a necham chvilku stat.To by jste neverili,co jeste vyleze ruzne haveti i kdyz se snazim kvety prohlizet aby na nich nic ziveho nebylo.Neperu,tim prichazime o pyl,ktery je take lecivy.Dame do velkeho hrnce,pridame 2litry vody a dva na kolecka nakrajene citrony.Varime 15 minut od bodu varu.Nechame 24 hodin louhovat.Druhy den to vypada takhle.

Dandelion sirup (honey)
400 dandelion heads
2 liters water
2 sliced lemons 
Put in a big pot bring to a boil, lover the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Let it sit for 24 hours.

Pak precedime prez platynko,jeste vymackame,pridame 2 kg krystaloveho cukru a varime 1 az 1 1/2hodiny.

Strain,  add 2kg crystal sugar  into the liquid and cook 1 to 11/2 hour till you have the desire "honey" consistency.

Behem vareni seberem penu ktera se tvori.Zkousime jak syrup "zeliruje" nenechte se zmast,horky je stale jeste hodne tekuty ale kdyz udelate zkousku na talirek(jako u dzemu) tak poznate,kdy ma tu spravnou konzistenci.(Ja dnes varila hodinu)

Collect and discard  the foam during the cooking.You can do the test for consistency ( same like if you are making a jam). Take a drop of the sirup and  leave it cool on a plate. If it is too runny cook a little bit longer.

Pak uz jen nalijeme do cistych sklenic a zavickujeme
Pour into sterilized jars and seal the lids, it will keep for years.

Delam take syrup sedmikraskovy,ma zase jine lecive ucinky.Pridavam do caje stridave z medem celou zimu.
I make similar one from  daisies and alternate them to sweeten my tea in the winter.
