My favorite ways to use dandelions are as tea for kombucha (which uses all parts of the dandelion) and as dandelion fritters, which just use the flowers — but they’re so good we’ve served them to skeptical company and made them believers. 😁
Dandelion wine, if any makes it anymore. How about 3 or 4’ thistles? How do they differ from blue chickories of same height, often official state flowers.
Ok, so your question piqued my curiosity. 🤓 A quick internet search gave me this definition—
Cordial is often used for the sweetest distilled spirits that are very dessert-like. You might see "cordial" on labels for chocolate or cream spirits, for instance. Cordial can also describe a nonalcoholic, syrupy drink such as a lime cordial or elderflower cordial. It's used more often in the United Kingdom.
I used to wage war on the dandelions too. Now so long as something is green and growing (especially if it's edible) I say the more the merrier.

Could cordials be made with herbs or would they be considered something else at that point?

People use weird things in dessert all the time! I’m gonna go for it!
🙌🏻 come back and let us know how it goes.
Hmm 🤔 I don’t know, but I think you can make the rules and break them 😁
I say, go for it! There are so many herbs that work with sweet brews of all sorts.
