The dandelions are all bright and beautiful at the moment. Perfect, I thought for making a dandelion flower vinegar.
Dandelion Flower Vinegar Recipe Ingredients
- Dandelion flower heads
- Cider vinegar
- Jam jar with rubber sealed lid
And so jar in hand, I walked out down the lane from my house and gathered as many dandelion flower heads as I could fit comfortably into the jar.
I took them back to my house, and then poured 10-year-old cider vinegar over them until they were submerged, then capped them and placed them in a shady place.
Really you should leave them for about 6 weeks, but I was already tucking into the vinegar within about 5 days. I like to taste the changes as the vinegar matures.
Makes: 1 jam jar
I am wondering after reading this article on making dandelion vinegar, do you make your own homemade Apple Cider Vinegar(ACV)? and if you do could you post an article on how you do? thx,
Hi Vera – No I don’t. I buy raw cider vinegar with the mother already in it. I use Ostlers.
Do you wash the flower heads before preserving
Margay, I never wash flowers. I just pick from clean spaces.
What do you use dandelion flower vinegar for? I’d love to do this!
In salad dressings and the same way you would use any other type of vinegar.
I can’t wait to try this!
