Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh violet flowers
• 1 cup Water
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 0.5 teaspoons Lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Gently rinse the violet flowers in cool water to remove any dirt or insects. Remove any stems or green parts from the flowers.

Step 2

Place the cleaned violet flowers in a heatproof bowl or jar and pour 1 cup of boiling water over them.

Step 3

Cover the bowl or jar and let the flowers steep for 24 hours at room temperature. The water should take on a light purple color.

Step 4

Strain the violet-infused water through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a small saucepan. Discard the spent flowers.

Step 5

Add 1 cup of granulated sugar to the saucepan with the violet water and stir well.

Step 6

Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved completely. Do not let the syrup boil vigorously, as this may reduce its delicate flavor.

Step 7

Once the sugar is fully dissolved, add 1/2 teaspoon of lemon juice. The lemon juice will brighten the color of the syrup and enhance the flavor.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and let the syrup cool completely.

Step 9

Pour the cooled violet syrup into a sterilized glass jar or bottle and seal tightly.

Step 10

Store the violet syrup in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. Shake gently before each use.
