Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, combine the sugar, water, and alum. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar. (5 minutes)

03

Step

Reduce the heat to medium and continue to boil gently for 10 minutes, skimming off any foam or scum that rises to the surface. This step ensures a clear and pure syrup. (10 minutes)

04

Step

Remove the saucepan from the heat. Gently stir in the white clover blossoms, red clover blossoms, and rose petals. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Allow the mixture to steep for 10 minutes, allowing the floral essences to infuse the syrup. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Carefully strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth to remove the solids, pressing gently to extract all the liquid. (5 minutes)

07

Step

Pour the strained syrup into sterilized jars or bottles. Allow to cool completely before sealing. The syrup will thicken slightly as it cools.

Ensure that all flowers used are organically grown and free from any pesticides or herbicides.
For a richer color, use white clover blossoms that are just beginning to turn brown.
Sterilizing the storage jars is crucial for preserving the syrup and preventing spoilage.
This beeless honey can be stored in a cool, dark place for several months.
