Alchemilla vulgaris, commonly known as Lady's mantle, is a herbaceous perennial plant that is native to Europe and Asia. It has soft, hairy, round leaves that form a rosette shape at the base of the plant and clusters of small, yellow-green flowers that bloom in the summer. The leaves of the plant are collected and used in various ways, including in traditional recipes.
One popular use of Alchemilla vulgaris is to make a type of cordial known as Lady's mantle cordial. To make this cordial, the leaves of the plant are steeped in sugar syrup and left to infuse overnight. The next day, the syrup is strained and mixed with lemon juice and water to create a light and refreshing drink. Enjoy this cordial as a sweet treat or mix with sparkling water for a fizzy and flavorful beverage.
