I just picked a whole bunch! I think the syrup would be the easiest to do for me maybe 😊we’ll see 😅

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

My violets are only starting to come in and I’m so excited! Violet syrup is such a lovely treat. I hope you enjoy it!

[@RaySoonCome]

Great!

For any of the drinks you could freeze the flower with lemon zest or mint in the ice for a more pretty look

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

Absolutely! I love the idea of adding lemon zest or mint to violet ice cubes. So creative!

[@itsacharminglife]

Just want to double check, wild wood violets are okay to use?

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

As long as you’re 100% sure that it’s a violet, then yes!

For someone that is not in America or Europe, Where can I buy wild violet flowers?

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

You should be able to find both sweet violet seeds and dried violets on Etsy, if that’s a platform you use in your country.

[@elegance___echo]

Okay I'm going to check it out on Etsy 😊 Thank you.

[@VintageKitchenVixen]

Just make sure they don't spray their lawns with any chemicals before you go picking!
