Flower Sugar
Choose the sweeter aromatic flowers to use for flavoring the sugar.
Use a clean pint jar with a tight fitting lid, fill the jar about 1/3 full with sugar.
Scatter a handfull of small flowers, florets, or petals into jar.
Cover the flowers with sugar so that the jar is 2/3 full.
Add another handful of flowers, and cover with sugar to fill the jar.
Leave 1/2 inch space on top.
Put lid on the jar and shake well.
Place jar in a cool, dark place for at least 2-3 weeks.
However, it becomes more flavorful with age.
* You may add more sugar to the jar as you use it, it will take on the fragrance of the jar.
