Ingredients:
300 pineappleweed flower buds
1l water
200g sugar
Method:
Bring the water to a boil then allow to cool for a few minutes. Place the pineappleweed flowers in a heat-proof bowl and pour over the water. Cover with a plate and set aside to infuse for 24 hours.
Drain the pineappleweed infusion through a fine-meshed sieve, pressing down on the flowers with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
Place the resulting liquid in a saucepan and add the sugar. Heat gently, stirring, until the sugar has dissolved. Take off the heat, and allow to cool slightly then pour into bottles, stopper allow to cool and store.
This can be used as a base for drinks. It also makes an excellent base for sorbets.
