AdventurerForest girlNow in summer you can make super easy a syrup made of berries, herbs and flowers. Children can help with this and you can also easily test different flavors. Give 1 teaspoon syrup in a glass with water.
Media Education for Kindergarten and Hort
Relief in everyday life, targeted promotion of individual children, independent learning and - without any pre-knowledge already usable by the youngest!
First you look for berries, wild herbs, herbs and flowers in the garden, meadow and forest. Attention: only pick berries and herbs you know!
Tip: Uses an app to determine plants.
We have collected red and white Johannesberries, red and yellow raspberries, strawberries, rose blossoms and lavender blossoms.
You can also use the flowers of the yarrow, peppermint or lemon balm.
Now, for your syrup, find the cane sugar, your collected treasures, a tablespoon, a canning jar with household rubber and handkerchief.
Now you put sugar and berries in your jar alternately. Always fill about 1 cm of sugar, then about 1 cm of berries, then again 1 cm of sugar and again 1 cm of berries etc. in the glass.
Layer sugar and berries in until the glass is full. The last top layer is sugar. It is pressed firmly.
The glass then covers her with a handkerchief. Then close it with a household rubber. Now put the glass in the refrigerator for several days.
After a few days, when the sugar has become liquid, filter it with a sieve. Then fill the finished syrup in clean bottles.
Tip: If there are still small leftovers in the syrup, then everything purifies.
In the refrigerator the syrup is durable for 3 months!
Info!
The special feature of a layer syrup is the very gentle production method, because the ingredients contained in the plant material or in the fruits are neither heated nor subjected to a drying process before. Therefore, layer syrups are particularly useful for plants with sensitive ingredients.
If, for example, pointed leafs are boiled to form a hustensirup, this loses part of the antibacterial ingredients due to the heat. In contrast, an onion or horseradish syrup can not be cooked at all. Also in plants with a high content of essential oil, such as spruce tops, the heat destroys a part of the active ingredients.
Have fun!
