Notes
Wear plastic gloves to remove the petals from the green bases of the flowers as this is a messy task. Have a good movie on TV while you do this as it takes a while!
Your dandelion liqueur will keep for up to a year in a cool cupboard.
Serve this liqueur either ice-cold as shots, with ice or as part of a cocktail too.
