Do you have lilac flowers, lemon and sugar? Make Lilac sugar

I love lilac flowers. I preserve their scent in the form of sugar, which I then use to sweeten tea or flavour summer lemonades.

Lilac syrup
10 large lilac flowers
150 g sugar
juice of 1 lemon

Lilac sugar
150 g sugar

1. Clean the lilacs (you can rinse them, but then you need to dry them). Pick the flowers and put them in a container. Stir and leave at room temperature for 1 hour to dissolve.
After 1 hour, stir the mixture. You can see the lilac syrup slowly start to form.
Place the syrup in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight. You can stir it from time to time.

2. Remove from the fridge and strain. Add 150 g of sugar. Stir.

3. Preheat the oven to 40°C. Put baking paper on a baking tray. Pour the liquid onto the baking paper and spread it out. Place in the oven to dry for 2 hours.

Take the mixture out, stir and dry for a further 2 hours.

Take the mixture out, stir and dry for another 1 hour. The mixture dries slowly. Repeat the process until the lilac sugar is completely dry.

Finally, you can blend it some more. Store in a resealable jar.
