Dandelion is a wonderful plant! Edible and healthy! Honey can be made from flowers, or better to say, a syrup that is very healthy! Dandelion syrup is a natural cough medicine for colds. It is also considered to be an excellent "cleanser" of the lungs from nicotine and other toxins. It is recommended to take three tablespoons of this syrup a day. Proven to soothe dry, intense coughs caused by colds. However, when using it, people prone to allergies should be careful. This plant is one of the few, almost all parts of which are used and considered extremely healthy. Dandelion root, our ancestors say, is used in the treatment of the most serious diseases. From dried and ground root, tea is often made, while a dandelion leaf or radicchio is very often on the table, as a salad. For one measure of syrup, you need 400 dandelion flowers, harvested in the sun, when they bloomed the most, a liter of water and one lemon cut into circles. Dandelion with lemon, cook in water for 20 minutes, then strain the mixture. Add two kilograms of sugar and the juice of two squeezed lemons to the strained mixture, and then return it to the stove. After the mixture reaches the boiling point, continue cooking for 30 minutes, and then pour the hot and thick mixture reminiscent of honey into sterilized jars. The picture shows a dandelion from the Petrovaradin fortress from my collection. In Serbian: Maslačak je divna biljka! Jestiva i zdrava! Od cvetova može da se napravi med ili bolje reći sirup koji je veoma zdrav! Sirup od maslačka je prirodni lek protiv kašlja kod prehlade. Smatra se i da je odličan "čistač" pluća od nikotina i drugih toksina. Preporučuje se da se uzimaju po tri kašike ovog sirupa dnevno. Provereno, umiruje kod suvog, intenzivnog kašlja, izazvanog prehladom. Ipak, prilikom korišćenja, oprezni bi trebalo da budu ljudi skloni alergijama. Ova biljka, jedna je od retkih, čiji se skoro svi delovi koriste i smatraju izuzetno zdravim. Za koren maslačka, naši stari kažu da se koristi kod lečenja najtežih obolenja. Od sušenog i samlevenog korena, često se pravi čaj dok je list maslačka ili radič veoma često na trpezi, kao salata. Za jednu meru sirupa potrebno je 400 cvetova maslačka, ubranih na suncu, kada su najviše iscvetali, litar vode i jedan limun isečen na krugove. Maslačak sa limunom, u vodi kuvati 20 minuta, a nakon toga smesu procediti. U proceđenu smesu dodati dva kilograma šećera i sok od dva isceđena limuna, a nakon toga vratiti na šporet. Nakon što smesa dostigne tačku ključanja, dalje kuvati 30 minuta, a zatim vruć i gustu smesu koja podseća na med sipati u sterilisane tegle.
