You can also cut the flowers off after they open, and submerge them in white vinegar for 2-3 weeks, then strain. I do this with chive flowers (packed into the jar, but not so much there’s no room for liquid) and it makes a bright pink garlic chive vinegar that is really lovely. Onion would do the same, but probs look and taste a bit different.
Ever eat the buds? Very much a delicacy. Eat them before they start to open or they get papery.
I had no idea, saving this for next year. thanks!
