Woodruff syrup, easily made yourself. Made from real woodruff. In this video I show you how it's done. You'll also learn everything about woodruff, its identifying characteristics, where woodruff likes to grow and which plants woodruff can be confused with. I was in the Harburg mountains last Sunday and happened to find a small field of woodruff. Of course I couldn't ignore that. I picked a thick bunch to make my delicious woodruff syrup. Since there were no warm Mays this year, the woodruff is also very late. There are still many places where it is still before flowering. So it's perfect for harvesting! In the food industry, woodruff flavor is almost always produced artificially, but in my opinion it can't compete with the original in terms of taste. My woodruff syrup is not only delicious in its green white form, but also mixed with sparkling water for children. Even for big children like me! Woodruff syrup is also an excellent flavoring for woodruff ice cream and cakes like Green May Cake! And if you, like me, like to experiment, you can also make savory marinades and dressings with it. The woodruff season starts at the end of April and often lasts until late May, and in cold years even into June. It is important to harvest the woodruff before it flowers. After that, it loses its aroma. You can find out more about woodruff, its identification characteristics and location preferences in this video. If you want to find out more about wild herbs in spring, cook with them or learn how to identify them, I recommend my little wild herb encyclopedia on my blog. There you will find everything you need to know about woodruff and many other herbs. https://www.dailyvegan.de/artikel-run... If a cooking video is not enough for you and you like to read (at the same time), you can of course also find the recipe for woodruff syrup on my blog: https://www.dailyvegan.de/2019/05/18/... This woodruff syrup is of course alcohol-free. With 0% alcohol content. It can therefore be used very well for lemonades with sparkling water. But it also tastes delicious when mixed into long drinks or May punch.
