Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

Notes

  • Use only dandelion petals from areas free of pesticides or lawn treatments.
  • To prepare, pull the yellow petals from the green base to avoid bitterness.
  • You can substitute 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste if a whole vanilla bean is not available.
