Dandelions look cute but they’re little idiots. They grow all in ur lawn, spreading seed obscenely all over the place, then come back year after year cos of their giant taproots. Get the better of them by boiling them up into this tasty syrup. Couple of fun facts:
1. You could argue that this is bad for bees cos they love dandelions. However, this is a great (vegan) alternative to honey - tastes very similar - so you’re actually doing them a favour. Ask a bee to say thanks to u next time.
2. Dandelion comes from the French ‘dent-de-lion’ which means ‘lions teeth’. They reckoned the saw-tooth leaves looked just like lions teeth. Cute but not cute, ok?
