Cornflower lemonade: a Polish tradition

Last year, in Poland, I fell in love with the local lemonade recipe: a mildly fermented soda using beautiful blue cornflower petals and sugar that turns into a bright pink fizzy drink.

It isnt something we do here in the UK, at least that I have never come across. Polish ethnobotanist, Łukasz Łuczaj @thewildfood said he has only seen it in Poland, and kindly agreed to translate his video into an English version so that you can learn how to do it here too.

Spring foraging: Wild Garlic Video

Throw back to a couple of years ago when we got together with Tom at Omved Gardens to have a little wild galric forage.

Have you found wild garlic yet? What are you making? We have two main types near us: Ramsons (Allium ursinum) and three-cornered leek (Allium triquetrum). We have recipes for both on the blog, access these using the search bar below, but include favourites such as wild garlic and cheese scones and deliciously creamy Garlicamole. Let us know what you are cooking below in the comments.
