Weeds into booze

There are worse ways to spend a sunny morning than picking dandelions out of the neighbors yard

Dandelion Cordial recipe

1 lemon

1 1/2 c water

3 cups of dandelion blossoms, white and yellow parts only (it is a long and tedious process)

1 c sugar

3 c vodka

1. Zest lemon and set aside.

2. Bring water and blossom bits to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 3 minutes.

3. Remove from heat and let stand 10 minutes

4. Strain blossoms from liquid, squeeze all the juice you can from the soggy pulpy mass of weeds you just cooked in your kitchen

5. Add sugar to broth and warm over low heat to dissolve sugar.

6. Remove from heat and add zest and vodka.

7. Let steep in the fridge for two weeks, shaking occasionally.

8. Serve cold.
