Lady Lemonade <3

I'll be selling this darling at a local fair in April. Her name is a little to the point, but she just seems like such a gentlewoman. Like a fancy Victorian lady having a picnic. She is quite deserving of the Lady title!

She's partially inspired by another interest I have: making violet syrup from wild violets harvested from parks and yards and such. The liquid is a natural ph indicator-- it's deep blue at neutral levels, but when you expose it to acid, it turns purple and then deep pink. Adding it to a glass of lemonade is fun at small parties.

OOOOH she is adorable! I love the outfit you gave her and her colors are so good!

Sidenote, would LOVE to know your violet recipe! I made honeysuckle jelly last summer and loved it! I want to do more foraging and things, and I think I know the types of violets your talking about!

I like her symbol and her outfit. What does violet syrup taste like?

What a beautiful pony and set up.  Your violet syrup also sounds delicious.

I don't remember what specific recipe I learned it from, but I got my start by just googling "violet syrup". You harvest and wash the flowers, and then keep them in a jar for 24 hours or so with freshly boiled hot water, stirring well when you first add the water. After it's steeped, you strain out the flowers, and you've got yourself a violet tea that you can use to make simple syrup.

Wild violets grow like weeds in my area. They are considered yard weeds, in fact. Before I found a small, infrequently visited park that I use as my main pantry, I would go on walks around the neighborhood and steal them from yard when no one was looking

Thank you! It's not a very strong flavor, honestly-- it's lightly floral, kind of like rose water, but the flavor isn't concentrated. I think I only taste it when I'm looking for it, and I don't taste it at all in the lemonade.

I remember making candied violets with my mom as a kid, never tried making a syrup with them.
