• But it doesn’t always work out, really... This year it wasn’t enough again... Ahhh...
• I don’t wash the petals before drying. I read that this way something very useful is washed off from them. Why do we need this, right? We need EFFECTIVE rejuvenation! ☺But, of course, in this case, you must be sure of the quality of the raw material, its purity!!!
• I simply lay the petals on a clean cloth and dry them so that they are not exposed to direct sunlight.
• They dry very quickly and are also stored without problems - in a dark, dry place in fabric bags.
• Shelf life – 2-2.5 years.

But, my God, I never make it to a year, everything ends “cleaned up” in a few months! ☺

Tea is also made from them. He has a very beneficial properties! So that beauty is not only outside, but also inside, as they say... ☺ And amazingly delicious jam is brewed!

Now, while I was writing this the last sentence, thought: “What if you cook it not with sugar, but with honey? Or maybe don’t even cook, but just twist the petals with honey in a blender, like we do raspberries and currants for the winter, huh?”

I wonder if it will at least be edible? ☺
