I just made this, foraged and started it yesterday. It is literally indistinguishable from honey. I used raw sugar (not white refined sugar) and a dash of vanilla extract. I had to simmer it for around 30-45 minutes to get it thick enough. So good. Tasted exactly like honey.
I was surprised to learn he's Italian. No idea what region but it's like no Italian accent I've heard before. I would have guessed he's from some Slavic area.
I grew up with dead lion wine and I can tell you it was used as a tick turd and everything else and I can also tell you that we used to gather them in the fields in Wisconsin every year dodging cow patties!
Made me happy you mentioned honey allergy, people never know it's a thing! Honey is horribly bitter to me, and makes me sick. I gotta try this in the summer! Edit: dandelions are out, I'm gonna pick and hopefully make this today!!! I'll update when it's done and I've tried it Edit 2: I might have done something wrong but....it was gross!! It tasted and smelled like green beans 😭😭 I tried it just as tea with some sugar, before wasting all the time and sugar to make it into the syrup. I made my mom try it because I thought I was crazy, nope! Green bean juice 😭 idk what I did wrong
You aren't allergic to honey. You are allergic to either the bees or the pollen used to make the honey. I know a lady who can't have honey but she can have chestnut honey. Meaning she's allergic to 1 or more of the flowers the bees have access to.
Dam that sucks I haven’t really noticed that I’m allergic to anything but I am lactose intolerant 😬haha...it’s weird tho cause as a kid I wasn’t it just started as I got older, anyways so sorry to hear that honey is so good with my coffee
@@lorddaquanofhouserastafari4177 yeah sadly this happens to most people. Forget the term lactose intolerant , that's marketing. It's only really Indians (Asia,not America)(where their ancestors were the first to raise cows, also cows are all from India) that have a mutated gene, along with approx 50% of Europeans to consume dairy , the rest all just have an immunity to the lactose from birth. We keep this immunity up by continuing to consume dairy throughout our life. Until 1 day we don't. It's not fully understood if the immunity ends abruptly or if it's caused by having a period of no consumption , cause and effect ie do you loose the immunity by stopping consumption or do we just notice it after stopping ie on a diet and when you then start eating cheese you notice or because you stopped. Bonus fun fact some children are born without the immunity and it just kinda picks up as a toddler or doesn't.
That is the issue I see here as well...by picking this quantity of flowers you are impacting not only the bees but birds and small reptiles that feed on the plants as there will be no seed and therefore less plants...
Agreed but folks would rather pick these before the get mowed over. We keep them for as long as we can before picking as we leave them for our little friends ❤
Dandelions are often the first source of food for bees coming out of their winter hibernation. If you care about the bees try to wait until the other flowers come out.
Agree. Stupid freaking video. Thanks to this dumb video, 0.1% of it's viewers will go out there and pick up 0.0000000000001% of all the dandelions in their area, which makes up 0.000000000000000000001% of all the places on earth that has dandelion. Poor bees won't get to any flowers because a whopping number of 5 people picked up another whopping number of 60 dandelions in different points of the world
@@toxictigersgr4250 why don't you get offended over lawnmowers...not a fkn how to honey video. Ohhhh, I get it...your name 🤣 you just like being triggered.
We used to make it into a syrup back home. The only difference is that we would use more water and less sugar, but the taste was overall similar. It did wonders whenever I was sick.
You literally have the BEST gardening/foraging/cooking channel!! Come to think of it, I like you the best on UA-cam. Such great info and videography. Amazing!
I love this plant it have better use than use it to make sugar honey. There is a lot of local beekeepers that will take care of they’re bees and sell you HONEY that’s really good for you and helps you get the pollen around you to help you with allergies and lots more. Just a positive message.
This is pretty sick! Although.. I would consider bee honey vegan. It’s not an animal product that comes from their body without us having to force them to produce it or give it to us, and bees produce an excess of honey by default. It doesn’t hurt them to produce
domesticated honey bees don’t actually need all the honey they produce! having all of it can actually be dangerous for them because it can attract predators and parasites and cause illness for the hive if they have too much. taking some honey from bees is like shearing sheep- it’s necessary for the overall health of the animals. it’s both possible and easy to harvest honey without hurting any of the bees you work with if you’re careful.
@@aminoamvs1548 It's not harmful in any way, they massively overproduce and live a wild life. Vegas aren't motivated by 'ew that's gross', it's the moral implications. But here there's none?
Dandelions are very important for bees, in the spring at a time of year when there are so few flowers for pollen collection its a very important flower for bees.
Hold on a sec... while this is amazing and I love that it's an option for people who can't have Bee honey. If you get technical, it's a Jam/Jelly, not so much 'honey' Jam uses the whole fruit/plant in the actual edible portion, Jelly only uses the juice/extract. So more a Jelly. But I'm just being pedantic, this is really cool, and I'm going to try make some! =D 🌻 Keep on keeping on Mr Mustache man!
In saying that, theoretically, you could actually make 'bee less honey' it would need some very specific enzymes and a bit of time, but it's possible. And you could use whatever flower extract you wanted I would think!
I was thinkin' more along the lines of a Syrup. I have a Lime Tree ; I make Lime Syrup by mixing Simple Syrup with Fresh squeezed Limes /Zest. I keep it in the fridge. It's as thick as Honey with a Sweet Tart tang. Great on Flapjacks 😊
I really love it when you do videos like this, of things I hadn't heard of before. I love the zero waste, but I also like learning new ways to use plants (and other things) that I never even thought of before
I made this honey using only the yellow petals. It was a lot of work, but then it won't be bitter. I also cooked it a little longer to make it firmer. Super delicious in tea
Sugar itself is has a neutral pH of 7 because it can't take hydrogen ions out of the water or donate them in. Sugar is a nonionic compound, so it does not release H and OH ions in the water so it cannot make the syrup acidic or alkaline. If you are talking about sugar making the blood/body acidic and avoiding doing that through an alkaline diet that is quackery and has been shown to be false through scientific study. You can't change the pH of your blood/body through diet and you wouldn't want to. The body tightly regulates your pH and the only time it ever deviates even slightly is if you have some sort of serious disease but even in that case you can't change it back to normal through an alkaline diet. Your stomach acids will immediately neutralize any alkaline foods you eat. The only place sugar actually causes acidity is in your mouth because the bacteria that naturally live there feed on the sugar and excrete lactic acid. This is why dentists recommend you brush your teeth immediately after eating.

My sister has been doing this for probably over 20 years now and it's one of the greatest things I've ever tasted. Goes so well on a slice of bread for the breakfast or in a yogurt for dessert.
I made this!!! But I didn't have a lot of sugar (because I only buy 1kg sugar per year). So I used only 1/2 according to your recipe and it was still too sweet (but good and thick👍). Next time I will use 1/4 sugar of the weight of dandelion tea.
The point of honey isn't just taste its the fact its much healthier than sugar and it taste better just because were humans does mean we need to eat junk for ethics.
My family makes this ,,beggars-honey" since years. Its the perfect recipe, however the most important thing is to harvest the flowerswhen the blossoms are realy fully opened, the smell is right and most important... it has to be warm (not raining) at least two days before your harvest. Only if all those things are correct you are going to catch the silky, flowery and weirdly umami flavor of these flowers.
You want to make honey... Using honey?! I'm not sure you grasped the concept of this video. To answer your question in a slightly less obnoxious and more informative way. Yes. You can make a dandelion syrup using real honey in place of sugar in this recipe. I would suggest reducing it a lot further than he does though. His was very thin. Also to avoid it crystallising over time add a spoon of glucose syrup to stabilise.
I will say this sounds outstanding, but fun thing I learned. Bee's are literally like one of the only species that can even concent to their care/harvent. Like if shtuff isn't great or like the best for them, then they can, and do, leave bad beekeepers
Yeah, he tries to claim this stuff is good for you and will help with weight loss but its essentially dandelion syrup candy, all that sugar is not good for you, certainly not for weight loss. Adding dandelion tea doesnt cancel out the calories or the straight hit of simple sugars.

Thank you! Yes but it’s the vegan version of it for people who can’t have it 😊
At least 50% of the honey that you buy at the supermarket is fake honey sold as real. Should be rice honey if I'm not wrong and no bees are involved.
It's basically dandelion flavored molasses
It’s more dandelion jam/jelly than it is honey
Pretty sure this is a type of syrup. Which there is many kinds of like pine, all kinds of edible flowers etc!
