1
Chop the greens into 1- to 2-inch (2.5- to 5-cm) pieces and set aside.
2
To make the dandelion-infused simple syrup, combine the sugar and water together
in a small saucepan and heat over low-medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
Place the dandelion greens in the pan and submerge them with a spatula. Reduce the
heat to low for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat, and strain
through a sieve into a glass. Cool to room temperature before using.
3
Pour 1 tablespoon of dandelion syrup into each glass. Add ½ cup (125 ml)
grapefruit juice and stir gently to combine. Top up with ½ cup (125 ml) sparkling
wine and serve. Store any leftover syrup in a covered jar in the fridge, where it will
keep for several weeks.
