Being a flower , I am sure they are bot going to harm me anyway. I did some online research about it, before proceeding with syrup preparstion. I let them to boil for few minutes, which makes the water turn into bit yellowish.
I added half spoon of sugar just for taste. I just wanted to make sure that my effort does not get wasted with some sour or odd taste. I let them to cool tye syrup for few minutes before filtering them to another glass for drinking.
It turns out to be good in taste. I am sure only a glass if these syrup does not going to add any value to my body. A Regular consumption may show dome good sign. But first drink help me feel much better. It's believed that these flowers have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that can be helpful in reducing the symptoms of arthritis. Having these plant at home is always a boon. Hope to make it a continous habbit to gave such medicinal drinks.
