Steps:
- Remove and discard violet stems. Rinse violets gently with cool water in a colander, and remove any insects. Place 2 cups of water in a 1 1/2-quart saucepan. Add violets, cover, and simmer gently over medium-low heat for about 10 minutes. Remove from heat; let steep, covered, for 20 minutes. Strain liquid through damp cheesecloth or a coffee filter; the liquid will be green.
- Measure 1 cup of liquid. Pour into a small saucepan; add the sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring to dissolve sugar. Let cool for 5 minutes. Slowly add just enough lemon juice for the liquid to turn purple; the acid in the lemon juice is balancing the pH of the liquid. Don't add all the lemon juice or the liquid may turn red.
- To make one serving of Wild Violet Sparkling Water, add 1 tablespoon of Violet Syrup to sparkling spring water.

- MAKE SIMPLE SYRUP WITH WILD VIOLETS. I have a post that’s all about making flavoured simple syrups, but the violet one was completely different. For one thing, it’s a concentrated simple syrup and follows a different ratio than the 1:1 sugar to water I typically follow.
- STIR UP VIOLET COCKTAILS. Where there’s simple syrup, there’s potential for delicious drinks! I could see this violet syrup making a gorgeous Italian soda by adding it to your favourite sparkling water.
- TRY MAKING SUGARED VIOLETS. The emphasis is on try. Making sugared violets is not an easy thing to do and I failed miserably at it. It requires patience and a zen flow state.
