@@EddieShepherd Truly you can be famous, you should invite someone like Ramsey. Of course that may conflict with simple approach to life. But you offer the genuinely unique.
The quality of these videos is through the roof, excellent work man

Thanks so much 😃
Dipping into traditional Balkan ingredients, I see... :) In case you didn't know (though likely you do) elderflower lemonade is regularly made in the northern Balkans in summer, though in a different manner than yours: elderflowers, water, sugar and a slice or two of lemon, then let it ferment in a warm place for 1-2 days to make it bubbly and slightly alcoholic. And spruce syrup is also traditional over there, made very similarly to your procedure though I prefer to use honey instead of sugar. Try it with honey, you may find it better.
This looks delicious, you attention to detail is stunning, great job dude!

Have you thought of drying the dandelions to point where petals detach by shaking or would it effect the freshness part of the dandelions? Picking petals by hand seems like Noma internship level of tedious

With the dandelions the flavour is so delicate that drying / heating would substantially affect it. But it’s okay it’s not too bad of a job, It takes a couple of hours so I can even put on a film in the background while I’m doing it
