- 32 oz Boiling water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 packet Sure Jell
- 4 cups Sugar

## Instructions

1. Pick about a gallon of dandelions and make sure they are fully open.
2. Clean the petals by snipping the green end off and tapping it to remove the green part from the yellow petals.
3. Put the petals in a mason jar.
4. Fill the jar with boiling water.
5. Screw the lid on and let it sit overnight.
6. Strain the dandelion tea through a cheesecloth or strainer and squeeze as much liquid as possible until you have 4 cups of liquid.
7. Add the liquid to a saucepan, add lemon juice and Sure Jell.
8. Bring to a boil and boil for exactly one minute.
9. Add sugar and bring to a full rolling boil for one to two minutes, depending on the thickness you want.
10. Let it settle, skim off the foam and ladle into mason jars.
11. You can either put the jars in the fridge for a couple of months or in the freezer for up to six months. Alternatively, you can run them through a water bath, which will make them shelf-stable for up to two years.
