I am not typically one for food/drink crafting but I posted on FB about all the wild violets on our sweet Vermont property and a friend linked a website with things to do with violets. The syrup immediately appealed to me because it’s clearly fae magic or science but yeah MAGIC.
It was super fun adding lemon juice and watching it turn pink.
Aren’t they lovely? Such a beautiful gift of spring.
OOoo! What a fun way to use those violets!
Oh, I had no idea you could do that with violets! We have wild violets all over our yard. I love them!
Yum! Sounds fun and tasty 
This is the kind of post that would be featured in a glossy magazine that makes all the readers jealous.
Beautiful! How does it taste?
I have yet to try it; I’m not big on super sweet drinks. The kid says it tastes vaguely of plant/flower but mostly sugar. He likes it and wants me to continue to make it but mostly because of the magic when added to lemon water. The flavor itself in his opinion is not the deal sealer. That said, other reports online indicate a light floral or grape taste.
Interesting!
I made some last year, the colour change is really fun but it tasted of nothingness.
How beautiful! Those colours are wonderful!
It sounds cool and the color does make me want to try a sip!
This is so fun and sounds tasty!
Whoa! This is pure alchemy! Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous drinks!
