I have made used coltsfoot syrup and its amazing stuff. I made mine slightly different from what the vid explained, i heated dried flowerheads up in a brown sugar/water mixture to get the syrup.
As an extra someone asked in the comments if it could be smoked....well actually yes it can.., well the leaves can be anyhow, when dried are a nicotine free substitution for tobacco, although somewhat harsh and herby smelling when smoked..., and no it doesnt give you a buzz lol
-
A little caution here...Just read in Wikipedia that this plant now has been found to represent a cancer risk...and that for this reason even the cough syrup should never be used longer than 4 weeks.
-
The Stem of the flower is very scaly and purple here in Ontario.

I do appreciate you sharing this with us, I love edible wild plants.
But in the book 'Edible wild plants of Pennsylvania and neighboring states' by Richard J. and Mary Lee Medve, it says that recent studies show that young flowers produce a high incidence of liver cancer in rats, how do we know for sure that it's safe to eat?

There is very much disagreement over this kind of 'scientific research' ... at the end of the day, please conduct your own research and ask respected herbalists whose advise you trust. I know many people who are not too concerned about these 'research findings'. But this is not the place for such a debate.

It certainly is. The sea you hear is in Devon, England.
