About this Recipe
By: Marija
Dandelion honey is not made by bees, it’s made from the flowers and sugar.
This honey is a good substitute for vegans.
It has a very similar flavor and colos such as a bee honey. The consistency is thinner.
All you need is dandelion flowers, sugar, water and lemon or orange, the choice is yours.
Make sure not to pick all the dandelions in a field and make sure you leave enough for the bees. They are an importante source of nectar for them.

Have a great day!
