wash the flowers with cold water, not in high pressure stream otherwise you will lose most of the tasty delicate flowers
put flowers in a pan and submerge in cold water - for best results limit the water up to a level where the flowers are just submerged
put on medium heat until the water is simmering
boil for a couple of minutes, turn the burner off and leave to steep in the water for about 5 minutes - test the flower tea if it is turning bitter remove the flowers and leave to cool down
using a sieve with a muslin towel transfer the flower tea from one pan into another and remove and visible residues from the flowers
add sugar circa 200 grams of sugar for every 1 litre of syrup and bring to
the boil until all sugar has melted, do a taste checkā¦ if you want to make it more syrupy or sugary add more sugar
