Beautiful! The pigment of flower petals is often based on the pH of the soil (pun intended), so if your syrup stayed purple then the flowers likely grew in acidic soil. More blue means more base (aka more alkaline). You can manipulate the color of snowball bush flowers this way by augmenting the soil with acids/bases :)
You're right. Maybe also the water pH can influence the result. Hard water, containing more calcium, can turn the infusion more blue. I've noticed that with my hibiscus tra, if I use tap water the first infusion is blue-ish, and it needs a longer infusion to get red, but if I use filtered water it gets red right from the start. pH can truly do some wonderful chromatic tricks 😁
@@annalisalundberg4561 Oh ya, pH all the way through the process can impart effects! Chemistry is a beautiful and magical thing in itself… pair that with magic and it’s even more spectacular!
Looks beautiful and magical! Here we make Violet-"Spritzer" in spring, adding the syrup to white wine with sparkling water. Perfect for warm spring afternoons in the garden 🌿🌷
The syrup is basically a litmus paper. When the solution is acidic, it is pink. Basic is blue, and purple is neutral. The same thing happens with purple cabbage. Neat! I didn’t know violets have that property too. Thanks for the video
I just set up a hibiscus syrup inspired by this recipe for whenever I'm on my period or feel like I need the female energy properties of the hibiscus flower. thank you so much for inspiring me 🌺🖤
So strange, I harvested violets yesterday and have them soaking right now. I was about to go and finish the syrup when I saw your video recipe. Magical. I hope mine will turn out as beautiful a colour as yours! Stunning video as ever : )
Lovely you can always grow your own herbs or visit a friend or family’s garden or just take a walk in the woods! Some farmers markets also have a lot of good herbs :)
You'd be surprised how much you can grow by your windows.. some plants like violets do very well in partial light. Otherwise, get your ingredients dried from herb wholesale or apothecary
So I am a 13 year old baby with that is going to move in an apartment. My mom is not a witch but we both live plants and I live cooking if you have a window or balcony try to hang some herbs and flowers! Since I am working to be a kitchen witch I will be spending A LOT OF TIME in the kitchen so this would be helpful for me but honestly everyone can benefit from this. Even non witches
I made this! My "will forage for food" group freaked out when I showed them. They couldn't believe I got the color to stay. Thank you for making this so easy.
I have never heard of Violet syrup..ever. This is great content about syrup, Seriously, who could do that but a Naturally Talented Witch. I am so into this channel. 3 nights ago I ran into this channel in a search mode for some thoughts to add too my Grimoire..1:29 AM? I guess. I've been watching more of these interesting videos since then, I am happy for The Green Witch and her Channel. It is valuable too me. I like simple and meaningful. Peace :)
The color change is like the butterfly pea tea, it brews a rich royal blue and when you change the acidic when you add lemon, it changes color to a royal purple! So beautiful and mesmerizing. Can’t wait until spring to pick violets and make a syrup!
I'm not a witch, I am an atheistic pagan, but I grew up in the Midwest and enjoy your very country aesthetic videos, they remind me of my family, especially my grandmother. She makes recipes like this, especially adept at pies.(grandma stereotype, I know lol)

Tanya Cumberlin Dandelion greens are edible! You always want to wash them well, of course. I am also no expert and I have no foraging experience, so please do some more research, too.
@@liaruth9795 dandelions are so much fun! You can eat the leafs in salads, brew them and the roots as a tea, and add them to honey (perhaps with other herbs) to make an infusion. Have fun with your dandelions til the violets come!
its a lovely color,, its why I planted a purple lilac outside my bedroom window because its scent is lovely through my open window on warm spring mornings
You are such a pure soul! The sound of your voice is so soothing and comforting and everything that you do makes my heart sigh contentedly. You are the Green Witch that I aspire to be and watching your videos to follow you already makes me a better person and a better Wiccan. So thank you.
Saw this in my feed and I remembered this is the first video of yours I ever watched. I'd subscribed before you even got to the recipe...about the time the dog was eating the flowers out of your hand. I don't know what it is but there's something about violets that just make my heart quicken. Everyone else believes roses are for love, but I always got that feeling from sweet little violets - like the feeling you got the first day you met your best childhood friend.
You are an old wise woman, one from an English town , yes you was born with a gift of working with natural resources and Nature use it wisely green witch , blessed be
Your videos are exactly what we needed to bring into our life. We’ve been dealing with disorders that leave us needing meditation and have found your videos to have a meditative effect 💜 Thank you
thank you for this wonderful video, you are lucky to have so many violets grow in your area. Violets have medicinal properties also, I work with many Spanish speakers and in Mexico and Central America many use 'aqua violeta' (violet water) for healing purposes. For me, I would love to make this syrup and use it in deserts and drinks, wish I had violets in my area, I'll try to grow them.
Hello. It's so relaxing, it's very pleasant. It's fresh outside, the wind is picking up, the rain and storm are about to come...I love this atmosphere and your video helps keeping this spirit. Have a nice Sunday!
I always check out this chhannel whenever I am going to stay at my Grandparents. As a baby witch, I’m not sure what path I wantt tto take yet. I love astrolog, gemstones and tarot but I also love herbal remedies, however, my parents aren’t exactly garden people, we have a SINGLE rose in the garden! But my Grandad has all sorts of plants so I get extremely excited whenever we go round! I am super excited to make this syrup so thank you to Annie for sharing this with us ♡︎
Hi, just stumbled across you channel. Violets hold a special place in my heart. They are my absolute favorite smell and my grandmother would buy me English violet candies as a kid. This video really makes me want to grow my own violets so I can try recreating this recipe, so thank you for this video!
My kids love the color change and we have talked about other foods with ph indicator properties, like cabbage and turmeric. Once I left mine for 27 hours and it vegan turning purple on its own, and then we got to discuss natural fermentation... That batch was super delicious compared to tge lemon juice!
I’ve been watching all of your videos since I found you about a month ago. I wanted to say that I can’t believe how much you’ve changed in one year! I mean that with the highest compliments. Your transformation is beautiful
this one inspired me to make lavender syrup for pain, insomnia and anxiety, it works wonders and it tastes so good! I’m vegan and I got so excited from how similar to honey syrup tastes. SO GOOD! I wish I had violets so I could try this one too 🌿
This is wonderful. Made the syrup and explored more videos on your channel. Realized that I am a Green witch too and felt so good to find myself in this. Thank you.
❤ I was so excited to see another beautiful video. Thank you so much for the inspiration and for blessing me with more knowledge and magic to make my days brighter.
Thank you! This was beautiful as always. Just couple of days ago i bought some raw sugar to make some flower syrups this spring. Not many violets here yet but soon i will try to make this and also make some ink from violets for my sigilwork. Sending you lots of love!
I made a batch of Violet mead earlier this year... it is a lot of fun. An important note here, that I'm sure is brought up in the referenced videos but always bears repeating. You have to be very careful about where you harvest any sort of wildflower from. Only harvest from sources that you know haven't been sprayed with chemicals (weed killers, pesticides, fertilizers, etc).
This looks amazing ! I was woundering if you had any recipe or way of how to extract scent from flowers or how to make oils like rose oil? Also is there a right way on how to dry flowers and plants? Thank you so much, I love your videos!
An "easy" way to extract scent from flowers is to take some very small glass containers with lid, cut some parchement paper the size of the bottom of the containers, cover them with a tiny layer of a solid oil, like coconut oil, then fill the container in fresh flowers or petals (keep in mind that you have to pick them the moment when their scent is greatest, for example if they were jasmine flowers you need to do that in the evening); fill the container, leave it overnight, then take off the flowers, and repeat as wanted. When the oil will have the intensity of scent you want, scratch it from the parchement paper and put it aside in a smaller container, better if it's a glass one. The technique to distill essential oils from flowers is pretty difficult and rather delicate, but in this way you will be able to create a scented oleolithe (hope I've written it correctly), meaning the essence of the flower trapped in a greasy substance. If you make this charging it with an intention that works accordingly to the energy of the plant, you can create a magical ointment, a simple but quick spell that can be activated whenever you use the oil.
You can make a hydrosol. I took a canning pot, put a brick in the middle and a large bowl on top. Fill bottom of pot, up to brick, with flowers and top up with water. Turn on the pot, med heat, put on the lid but upside down, fill with ice. As the water boils the steam condenses on the lid and falls into the bowl. Turn off before all the water is gone, but now you have a scented water! You tube for more recipes
Thank you thank you thank you! I have been practicing Wicca for around eight weeks as of this comment and making violet syrup with my best friend was what brought me into witchcraft, although it didn't work. I ended up almost breaking my dad's French Press...
Just now seeing this but thank you so much for the tip on collecting flowers. My first thought was a dismayed, " how am I gonna get 3 cups of violets?" I didn't know you could keep them fresh in the fridge like that-though it makes sense. Thinking of all the other flower projects I can probably accomplish the same way. Thanks again!
Love it! Unfortunately violet season has already passed here in my garden but I know for sure what I'm doing next spring. I'm already thinking about what cocktails I could mix this into! 🤣
Add the syrup to lemonade. Did a science experiment with my nieces. I didn’t expect it would have the flavor it did because violets don’t taste like much but it was lovely…and very very pink.
I'm planning on using this recipe for making azalea syrup with my azalea flowers in the back! Azalea does represent home and as someone who enjoys homey vibes and I hope it'll be great to mix in with some tea and sit back and relax either in my house or outside with all the nature!
I am not Wicca butvI love your channel. Congratularions on the viewing figures. I think if you ever put your book into print it would sell like hot cakes. I have noticed that a few other crafting, homely type channels have also had a large up surge in subscribers. Perhaps under lockdown people are craving simpler and nore serene times. The other channels were patchwork, sewing, home cooking and growing. ❤
Amazing! Thank you. I am going to try this without sugar, using a blend of raw honey and stevia (I can't eat processed sugar). Hopefully the gold honey doesn't throw off the beautiful vivid purple color... Guess I will have to find out! Thanks for this beautiful share, my yard is currently covered in wild violets!
I had a phase where I wanted to make blue gummy candy, so it's nice to see that it's not such a hard colour to obtain! Even blue violet ice cream would be cool! It would probably turn out quite periwinkley. Thank you for making these videos though. They are educational, soothing and inspiring.
Thanks for this, the violets in my yard are just starting to pop! We never use insecticide so everything in my yard is edible. I’m going to halve this recipe and make some up for making violet soda! Great inspiration, I love your content!

Sarah Johnson yes you are right 💜💜💜
Yes! She mentioned all 3 of these points in her chickweed video :)
@@greylilycalligraphy She makes exquisite videos. Just didn't want folks to forget the fritillaries

Does violet syrup expire??
I add violet syrup to seltzer water for a refreshing violet soda.
Yummy and so pretty! A welcome option on a cold , white, snowy day.

and that's why lemon changes the color to purple :)

I just got some Violet oderata seeds. Planning on growing them to maturity and making a Violet Liqueur
I had a phase where I wanted to make blue gummy candy, so it's nice to see that it's not such a hard colour to obtain! Even blue violet ice cream would be cool! It would probably turn out quite periwinkley. Thank you for making these videos though. They are educational, soothing and inspiring.
This video made me feel so calm :) i love your videos
An addition of moon water made with an amethyst would be a great addon when making it.
Thank you! Butterfly pea tea turns from blue to purple with acid as well. 💙💜
Made this, few weeks ago (did not pick all!), it turned out great! Thank you for the inspiration!
Thank you! Here in Alaska it is rose season. I will be making this with roses instead of violets. Thank you for the tips and recipe :)
PS this worked GREAT with roses. The added lemon juice at the end really amplified the rose flavor and color. It tastes sooooo good in tea
Thanks for this, the violets in my yard are just starting to pop! We never use insecticide so everything in my yard is edible. I’m going to halve this recipe and make some up for making violet soda! Great inspiration, I love your content!
