Ingredients
- 1 Cup Dried Lilac Flowers (No Stems) If you have fresh, dry them for a day or two before using
- ⅓ Cup Organic Cane or Raw (Granulated) Sugar
Instructions
- If you have fresh lilac flowers, wash and sit out to dry for a day or two.
- Once you have dried flowers, add a small layer of flowers in the bottom of a bowl or a jar.
- Cover with a small layer of sugar and then add some more flowers on top. Continue layering until you use all the lilac flowers that you have.
- Cover and let sit in a cool, dark place for at least 48 hours up to 1 week.
- Shake the jar or mix the mixture in the bowl to help disperse the flowers throughout the sugar each day.
- Strain out the flowers, and store in an airtight glass jar. You don't have to strain out the flowers, though you will find that they can turn brown after a few days, so I prefer to strain them out.
- When stored in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dark, dry place, this flavoured sugar should last for up to 12 months.
