Warning:
Make sure you have an expert with you mistake Queen Anne's Lace for, say, hemlock or snakeroot, both of which are poisonous!

Queen Anne's Lace Jelly

15 large flower heads

Place flower heads in boiling water, remove from heat, and allow to steep for fifteen minutes.

This yields 3 cups of infusion.
