Lilacs don’t wilt fast… they’re being prepped wrong. Here’s how to properly condition lilacs so they actually last: remove lower leaves, peel the bark, split the stems, hydrate deeply, and finish with Finishing Touch. This is the difference between droopy stems and strong, long-lasting blooms. Save this before your next arrangement. #lilacs #floristtips #flowercare

The Lilacs are in full bloom at the cottage 💜 I’m so grateful to whoever planted them all those years ago. #slowliving #springtime #cottage #lilacs #cotswolds

Lilac season isn’t long so I really make sure I soak it in every spring! Tip to get your lilac cuts to last longer: harvest early in the morning, when 2/3 of the florets are open. Cut off most of the leaves and then either smash the bottom of the stem with a hammer, or slit it vertically with snips. Condition in water for 4-6 hours before using! 💜 Also in the bouquet are Amazing Grace tulips, pastel ranunculus and power plum antique pansies. . . : . . #lilacs #bouquets #flowers #springflower #flowerfarm

To me, nothing makes the beginning of summer more than the smell of lilac blooms💜 here are three ways I use lilacs every year: To make lilac syrup, simmer equal parts water and sugar until the sugar has dissolved. add twice the amount of blossoms! this was two cups syrup, four cups of lilacs. simmer for a few minutes along with a couple of blueberries for color, and then leave overnight. strain and voila! the most incredible tasting syrup to use on all the things. my favorite is making iced lilac matcha lattes… DIVINE. The easiest way to use lilacs is to bundle them while still on the stem, wrap in string and hang around your house to try! This was you can use the flowers for tea and medicine all year long. Lilac tea after dinner and before bed too soothe and settle is 💯 (and delicious). You can also make a lilac hydrosol or just infuse in water and dab on burns and small cuts to speed up healing. Lastly, lilac honey. Make sure whatever honey you buy is always local - and always actual honey! A recent investigation of imported honey here in Sweden showed that every single imported honey - 36 out of 36 - was mostly sugar and other sweeteners. Find a local bee keeper and source your honey from them! Pour over lilac blossoms and leave for a few weeks (or forever). You can strain the flowers out… or eat them. Obviously, eat them! I was hoping to make a lilac cordial but the season is almost over so not sure I’ll have the time. What’s your favorite way to use lilacs? Are they in season where you are or am I posting this too late? Sorry, I’m trying to be better with the reel thing but it’s a struggle🫣 I hope the first days of June have been beautiful where you are! x #lilac #lilacs #summer #herbalism #forage #nature #homestead #baking #syrup #herbs #herb #herbalmedicine #summertime

Lilac Ice Cream from my book Foraged & Grown: Healing, Magical Recipes for Every Season🌸 This is a dreamy, lilac-infused dairy-free ice cream I make every year when the lilacs start blooming and they’re a month early right now so we’re gathering them before a deep freeze tomorrow! Ice cream is one of my favorite ways to incorporate this fragrant flower into desserts because it’s more possible to gather the scent of this ephemeral flower into fat than anything else. I still love to incorporate it into things for the beauty & essence but ice cream is a dream. This can be sandwiched between cookies and rolled onto cones for a floral-infused, dairy-free treat! Lilacs are a lifelong love of mine; as a child outside Chicago I took refuge from the humidity & sun under their flowering branches with my turtle Johnnie, spending hours in the heady-scented understory. Lilacs are a medicinal and edible flower, a delightful bitter, and are related to those twisting, wise olive trees. In the past, they were rumored to be anti-periodic, helpful in treating illnesses like Malaria. Lilacs are a forever muse, whether they are immersed in ice cream or sprinkled across donuts. Have you ever tasted lilacs? #lilacs #veganicecream #culinaryherbalist
