Does anyone know how to make flavor out of nectar? There are a few edible flowers i would like to try.

I found this info by Googling.

I would first make sure the flower is editable by looking at this: http://homecooking.about.com/library/weekly/blflowers.htm

Then, look at this: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_extract_oil_from_plants_and_flowers.

When separating the water from the oil after boiling, how do you do the separation? A turkey baster? and what does further refine mean?

Did you extract the nectar? what type of base is it in?

No, the nectar is made by the flower. I just have to use a pipette or syringe and suck it out like a pretty little butterfly

I don't know if I can just put it in a carto like it is or if I have to process it in any way. The flower is a nasturshum and I love the flavor. Both sweet and peppery. Fantastic on chicken salad with walnuts and grapes.

good one Kd.
I don't know, maybe you can experiment in a small scale mix. Start out w/ a mix of 2 drops of nectar to 8 drops of PG or VG or a combo of PG/VG with no nicotine. And adjust from there. So not to waste it. Drip it on an atomiser to test. If it works out then mix a larger batch w/ nic.

Hmmm, perhaps that would be a good start.

Let us know how this Nectar stuff works out, I am very interested. If it's good for the bee's than it would be peachy keen for me too!
