I’ve made this lilac lemonade recipe for years (I shared for the first time four years ago!) and still absolutely love it! It’s a springtime staple! 🍋🪻

🪻Lilac Simple Syrup:

Combine 1.5 cups lilac blossoms, 1 cup honey (can be subbed for granulated sugar,) and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer for 5-10 minutes or until honey has turned a rich brown. Strain the flowers and let completely cool before using! The simple syrup can store in the fridge for 7-10 days or be frozen for about 3 months.

🍋 Lilac Lemonade:

Combine 2 cups lemon juice, 1.5 cups lilac simple syrup, and 6 cups of water. Combine well and serve over ice!

Don’t forget to save the lemon peels to make garnishes or seasoning later!

Let’s preserve lilac blossoms! 🌸

Dehydrate: 95° overnight or until dry and crunchy. You can also air dry! (The flavor will be stronger if dried in a dehydrator.)

Freeze: make sure your blossoms are 100% dry, then freeze on a sheet pan overnight then transfer to an airtight container.

Simple Syrup:

1.5 Cups Lilac Blossoms
1 Cup Water
1 Cup Honey

Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan on low heat. Let infuse for about 15 minutes or until the flowers start to lose their color and honey turns a deeper golden brown. Cool completely then transfer to airtight jars in the fridge for up to two weeks. (I know that normally honey lasts relatively indefinitely, but because lilac is SO fickle this simple syrup loses its taste after a couple of weeks!

Lilac Sugar: Combine 1.5 cups sugar with 1 cup blossoms. Use your fingers to break down the flowers into the sugar, let dry (or dehydrate) completely, and store in a cool, dry place.

Spring Onion Versus Green Garlic! How to tell them

Spring Onion Versus Green Garlic! How to tell them apart!

1. Smell. Onions and garlic smell very different.
2. Leaves. Green garlic leaves are flat, like grass blades. Onions have hollow conical leaves.
3. Sound. Garlic sounds like grass when crunched between your fingers, onions squeak.

Green Garlic Powder! 🌱🧄 Comment ‘Green Garlic’ for

Green Garlic Powder! 🌱🧄 Comment ‘Green Garlic’ for all the details DMed to you!

Oh a spring bounty! This process is a smidge time consuming, but the result is so worth it! And with many farmers’ markets opening up this week, it’s time to grab some green garlic!

We start by prepping the garlic stalks- green garlic usually has roots, a bulb, and leaves. We’ll remove the roots, any yellowing leaves, and any mushy bits. (Compost these!) Then chop the garlic stalks into 1-2” logs and then slice in half. Then cut (I use some herb snips) into 2 inch pieces. Wash everything thoroughly and pat dry before arranging on dehydrator trays. Dry at 90° overnight or until all pieces can be ‘snapped’ in half. You want everything thoroughly dry or you’ll have issues creating a powder.

Add dried leaves and stems into a food processor. I don’t like working in small batches so I add in the dried garlic to fill the food processor, process until I can fit more and go on until everything is combined. You’ll want to process the dried herbs to as small as you can get.

Using a fine mesh sieve over a bowl, collect powder from the processed garlic, adding the pieces that are too big to pass through the serve back into the food processor until they’re powder! (This is the time consuming bit, but I enjoy it!)

Transfer to an airtight container and store in a cool, dark place (like a cabinet.) Best if used within a year.
