To make a small batch that will fill one half pint mason jar:
First we need to make an infusion of our flowers. Based on this article from Herbal Academy, I found the optimal ratio for a strong and flavorful infusion to be 1 (flowers) : 6 (water) by weight. So If you are using 2 cups of water (480g) you’ll want to use around 1 packed cup of flowers (80g).
