If you haven’t read my blog called, Eat Your Spring Lawn, start there.

One of my favorite things to make with all the fresh spring plants in my yard is a sun infusion. Here’s how:

Step 1:

Harvest the plants. For this sun infusion, I used dandelions, violets, cleavers, mint, and a few bee balm (monarda) leaves.

Step 2:

Wash thoroughly and place on cutting board.

Step 3:

Chop roughly, called macerating, which helps to release all of the oils and nutrients in the plants. You can use a large knife. I used this pizza cutter.

Step 4:

Add to a large jar and cover with filtered water.

Step 5:

Place in a sunny location for at least 8 hours.

Step 6:

Strain the herbs and enjoy! I like to put my sun infusion in a large jar and keep it in the fridge so I can enjoy it for the next few days.

It’s that easy!

Be sure to share this post with all who will enjoy it.
