Ingredients

  • Fresh lilac flowers (enough to fill a jar)
  • Granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Begin by gathering fresh lilac flowers, ensuring they are clean and free from dirt and insects.
  2. Pluck the individual lilac flowers from the stems, discarding any green parts or stems.
  3. Fill a clean glass jar with alternating layers of granulated sugar and lilac flowers. Start with a layer of sugar at the bottom of the jar, followed by a layer of lilac flowers, and continue until the jar is filled.
  4. Seal the jar tightly with a lid and place it in a cool, dark place to infuse for at least 1 week, shaking the jar gently every few days to distribute the flavors.
  5. After the infusion period, strain the lilac flowers from the sugar using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
  6. Transfer the infused lilac sugar to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

  • Ensure the lilac flowers used for making lilac sugar are pesticide-free and safe for consumption.
  • Use lilac sugar in moderation, as its delicate flavor can easily overpower other ingredients if used excessively.
