Dandelions all over my lawn – what to do with them?

Im looking for recipes to eat the dandelions in my lawn. I’ve never tried them before but I know there’s a wide variety of recipes out there and I wanna try some out! The problem is, I don’t have many ingredients at my house (money’s been tight this month) but I know the longer I keep the dandelions the more bitter they will get.

There’s all kinds of blooms all over my lawn, and it’s the first of the season, so from what I’ve read, that’s the best time to harvest the blooms.

I’ve been thinking of making a syrup with the blooms (I don’t have pectin so I can’t make a jelly) but I don’t know what to make with the leaves and roots, if anything? They might be bitter by now? I don’t know

Any ideas? Also please lmk if they would be bitter by now! I’d rather not put in all the effort for it to come out nasty. Thanks!

TL:DR – I want recipes for dandelions, specifically for the leaves and roots. Im concerned about bitterness, though, especially since the flowers have already bloomed, and idk if the leaves are too bitter now. Looking for ideas on how to use all parts of the dandelion without bitterness.
