its oficcially LILAC SEASON. The sweet smell is filling the air.

I am making a Lilac Cordial today.

I love lilac totally but only this year I have started to make things with it. Lilac vinegar, lilac infused honey, syrup, lilac cordial, it belongs to the edible flowers. We can decorate cakes with it or make a lilac flower essence with blossoms of it soaking in spring water in the sun. In folk magic lilac is strongly protective and expels unwanted spirits. Also, it stands for faithful love.

Cordial: INGREDIENTS 40 g clean lilac flowers about 8 flowerheads 1 1/2 l water 1 kg coconut sugar or sugar of your preference 1 lemon the juice of it 5 tsp citric acid INSTRUCTIONS Pour the sugar and the water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Be careful with it; hot sugar water is dangerous since the boiling point is a lot higher than water. Once the sugar as fully dissolved take the pot off the hot plate, add the citric acid and let it cool down just a little bit while you assemble your other ingredients. It is important because the liquid is so hot at this stage that it could crack your jars. Add the cleaned petals and juice of one lemon to a big jar or split it among smaller jars. Pour the hot sugary water over your flowers and seal the jars immediately. Store in a dark and cool place for 5-7 days, gently shake the mixture every day. After 5-7 days, strain the liquid through a mesh sieve and discard the flowers. Store the liquid in clean bottles or freeze it in an appropriate container. lilac oil: Now, we will see how you can make lilac oil-

Get some fresh lilac flowers Place the blossoms on top while lining a bowl with food protector cloth Get two cups of water while making sure flowers submerged properly Keep it overnight by covering the bowl Later on, the next day, pull the corner part of cloth together Then keeping flowers in the center, twist it into a packet Tie it with a string Let lilac water to boil before lilac water should bring into a vessel Put sachet in water and let the water boil for an hour and cool it Pour water in a bottle and add five drops of glycerin Shake well before use lilac health benefits: Beyond the lilac's use in aromatherapy, the flower has a history of medicinal use. In the past, lilac was ingested to rid the intestines of parasitic worms, and was also used in the treatment of malaria. In the 19th century, lilac was used by doctors to treat fevers. However, its rate of success was so erratic that its use in the treatment of fever was discontinued by doctors. Some modern herbalists use the essential oil of lilac to treat skin ailments such as rashes, sunburns and minor cuts and scrapes.
