Lilac syrup, Syreeni siirappi, (Syringa species)… First time making lilac syrup and I can say this is really magical dreamy fairy flower stuff. The scent is heavenly, the taste is otherworldly, and the feeling is that you will lay down on the floor with the cat and sink into the sensual world, feels like floating on soft purple clouds…. Recipe: 1 cup purple lilac flowers (remove flowers from the stem), 1 cup water, 1 cup birch sugar (or white sugar), 5 blueberries. Combine water & sugar and heat on the stove until sugar is dissolved. Add lilac flowers and 5 blueberries and simmer 10 minutes. Strain and pour into a clean jar. Keep refrigerated. Enjoy your syrup within 2 weeks time. Serve over vanilla icecream or pancakes or mix with sparkling water. Enjoy!
