The medicinal properties listed are anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory, and can assist as a sore throat aide.  I started to harvest the flowers with soaking the flowers.  I plucked each blossom off the branches and then let the petals soak in water over night.  The following morning I roasted the flowers in the oven to dry them completely.  The best method I decided to use to harvest and use the flowers was to make a simple syrup.  The syrup had a light yellow hue, and tasted so sweet, after cooled.  Because forsythia is a cousin to the olive plant, the flavor profile I delivered was by adding the Forsythia syrup to corn bread.  The syrup when heat activated, complimented the corn bread to perfection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-f20-yolanda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/470\/2021\/04\/received_237796644801726-768x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-119\" width=\"388\" height=\"517\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-f20-yolanda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/470\/2021\/04\/received_237796644801726-768x1024.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-f20-yolanda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/470\/2021\/04\/received_237796644801726-225x300.jpeg 225w, https:\/\/wordpress.evergreen.edu\/tmtaa-portfolio-f20-yolanda\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/470\/2021\/04\/received_237796644801726.jpeg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 388px) 100vw, 388px\" \/><figcaption>The culinary art this week is Wild Forsythia Cornbread.
