Honey
Dandelions taraxacum officinale either fresh from a safe location that was not sprayed with chemicals OR dried.

Pick the petals off of your dandelions and place them in your jar. (The green parts will make it bitter!)
Pour honey over your dandelion petals. Be sure to fully cover them! If you are filling the whole jar, leave about a half-inch of space at the top.
Use your spoon, knife, or chopstick to gently push the petals into the honey. You want to make sure everything is covered completely and that there aren't any air pockets.
Cover your jar with a lid and label it with the contents and date. Give it a gentle shake once or twice a week. Enjoy after one week!

When looking for fresh dandelions, you need to find some that have never been sprayed. Do not use dandelions that have been in a sprayed yard or that are close to a neighboring yard that has been treated in any way.
If you are using fresh dandelions, ensure that they're clean. If you need to wash them off, be sure they are fully dried before use.
Cover the petals completely with honey and ensure there are no air pockets.
Label the jar with the contents and date.
