Rather than spending time and money trying to eradicate dandelions from your yard, why not use this beneficial “weed” to create a delicious jelly that’s great on toast, biscuits, or to sweeten your morning tea (it tastes like honey!). However you use it, you’ll agree—it’s delicious!

Don’t worry about not leaving enough dandelions for the bees; harvesting actually stimulates the plant to flower. So, pick away!

Avoid picking dandelions along roadsides, in public parks with pet traffic, or where chemicals have been sprayed.

Once fully steeped, strain, squeezing out as much of the liquid as you can.
