Black Locust Blossom Syrup 【槐花糖浆】


It is May and is the season to forage black locust flowers (Robinia pseudoacacia) again, I made Steamed Black Locust Blossoms and 

Black Locust Blossom Pancake  in the past years.


This year I decided to make a batch of black locust flowers syrup, it can be use to mixed with liquor and seltzer to make cocktails or used on pancake/pastry as drizzle


阳历五月,又来到了槐花香的季节。自从知道槐花能吃,还特别好吃后,我每年的槐花季都要摘点回家做蒸槐花槐花煎饼吃。

今年我家附近树林里的槐花又开了满树,带儿子去公园玩的时候顺便摘一盆槐花回家做槐花糖浆。做好的槐花糖浆能够用来做鸡尾酒或者淋在糕点上吃,非常当即美味。



Ingredients:Makes about 16 oz
200 g of sugar
200 g of black locust flowers
2 cups of water
1 lime (1/2 thinly sliced and remaining 1/2 squeeze out the juice)

4. (Optional) Filter out the flowers and give them a squeeze to extract all the flavor, store in air tight container in refrigerator, it could be stored up to 2-3 weeks.
