A Magickal Recipe for Violet Syrup 

Sarah Johnson yes you are right 💜💜💜

Yes! She mentioned all 3 of these points in her chickweed video :)

@@greylilycalligraphy She makes exquisite videos. Just didn't want folks to forget the fritillaries

she mentioned it at the end

Does violet syrup expire??

You're right. Maybe also the water pH can influence the result. Hard water, containing more calcium, can turn the infusion more blue. I've noticed that with my hibiscus tra, if I use tap water the first infusion is blue-ish, and it needs a longer infusion to get red, but if I use filtered water it gets red right from the start. pH can truly do some wonderful chromatic tricks 😁

Do you know anything about syrup turning green? I did my first batch and I think something messed up along the way

and that's why lemon changes the color to purple :)

@@annalisalundberg4561 Oh ya, pH all the way through the process can impart effects! Chemistry is a beautiful and magical thing in itself… pair that with magic and it’s even more spectacular!

Her's was blue though, and she neutralised it with lemon.

that sounds cool(I'm a baby witch)

😍 That sounds amazing!

Thanks! Will try that it sounds amazing!!

It is soooo good! Hope you all like it :) I might post a little tipsy witchcraft cocktail video, if people are interested 💚

Beautiful! I can imagine adding it to my homemade sparkling lemon mineral juice ☺️

Yummy and so pretty! A welcome option on a cold , white, snowy day.

Ooo I love hibiscus I’m gonna have to try that

Hibiscus was the only thing that helped with my period

Where can you get hibiscus?

@@flyinglemons_9683 either grow it yourself, perhaps in tea shops, online but probably only dried or buy a live plant in a gardening store :)

What a wonderful memory!

Lotte Rolfe isn’t it lovely how magic works! ☺️💜 bless be~

Linda Mae Mullins that is just so sweet!!!! 💜💜💜

How do you make those?

Lovely you can always grow your own herbs or visit a friend or family’s garden or just take a walk in the woods! Some farmers markets also have a lot of good herbs :)

You'd be surprised how much you can grow by your windows.. some plants like violets do very well in partial light. Otherwise, get your ingredients dried from herb wholesale or apothecary

As a green witch, I would have to die before I could live in an apartment and not have access to nature :)

So I am a 13 year old baby with that is going to move in an apartment. My mom is not a witch but we both live plants and I live cooking if you have a window or balcony try to hang some herbs and flowers! Since I am working to be a kitchen witch I will be spending A LOT OF TIME in the kitchen so this would be helpful for me but honestly everyone can benefit from this. Even non witches

😎

That would be most of my moments lol I am always missing something!

Hahah same! I’m using rose petals instead to make a rose syrup

Amethyst Rain I see you Shirley ✨🔮

Liam Z does it taste good??

@@Maya-uj6fm it tastes like normal honey! When cooking it looks and smells gross but when it's boiled with sugar it's tastes and smells like honey, but better! I can send you a link to the recipe I used!

@@leaf7567 nThankbyou so much for this, I am trying to learn how to do different recipies with dandelions, could you tell me please, if I can use the leaves in salads and or anything else?.... Sorry to be so ignorant but I'm trying to learn with as little resource as I have.... I live in South Wales, once a huge coal mining community so much of the ground was ruined for flowers.... I am also reliant on others to take me out as I have a spinal issue which causes chronic pain and stops me walking far..... I do have a fairly big garden although stoned for the most part but have lots of pots.....can you recommend some things to grow, appart from herbs.... I am grateful for anyone reading this post.... Blessed Be and stay safe. Tannie Xx

Tanya Cumberlin Dandelion greens are edible! You always want to wash them well, of course. I am also no expert and I have no foraging experience, so please do some more research, too.

D.C. McF Lilacs are my favorite. Pure joy.

Bentito artwork same here in Canada the only flowers we have rn are tiny dandelions. 😂

@@liaruth9795 dandelions are so much fun! You can eat the leafs in salads, brew them and the roots as a tea, and add them to honey (perhaps with other herbs) to make an infusion. Have fun with your dandelions til the violets come!

Savannah Bowdoin thank you for the ideas! Blessed be ❤️

Bentito artwork where are you roughly (not adress or town) I want to know if we’ll have them at the same time :)

how do you store it? and what is the shelf life? :) thank you!

An "easy" way to extract scent from flowers is to take some very small glass containers with lid, cut some parchement paper the size of the bottom of the containers, cover them with a tiny layer of a solid oil, like coconut oil, then fill the container in fresh flowers or petals (keep in mind that you have to pick them the moment when their scent is greatest, for example if they were jasmine flowers you need to do that in the evening); fill the container, leave it overnight, then take off the flowers, and repeat as wanted. When the oil will have the intensity of scent you want, scratch it from the parchement paper and put it aside in a smaller container, better if it's a glass one. The technique to distill essential oils from flowers is pretty difficult and rather delicate, but in this way you will be able to create a scented oleolithe (hope I've written it correctly), meaning the essence of the flower trapped in a greasy substance. If you make this charging it with an intention that works accordingly to the energy of the plant, you can create a magical ointment, a simple but quick spell that can be activated whenever you use the oil.

@@annalisalundberg4561 thank you so much !! I'm glad I found awnsers :)

@@klimtdidit8482 I just tried to be helpful

Enfleurage!!! I am going to do it next year! It takes a lot of research :)

You can make a hydrosol. I took a canning pot, put a brick in the middle and a large bowl on top. Fill bottom of pot, up to brick, with flowers and top up with water. Turn on the pot, med heat, put on the lid but upside down, fill with ice. As the water boils the steam condenses on the lid and falls into the bowl. Turn off before all the water is gone, but now you have a scented water! You tube for more recipes

The Garden Witch oooo cocktails that’s an interesting idea.

The Garden Witch there’s a drink called “purple rain” after the prince song. I think it would fit well in that.

I have yet to meet a floral lemon drop I did not like. Violet drop. Rose, lilac, lavender, dandelion, geranium...

thank you so....blessed be...

Can you do this with African violets
