First things first: Harvest those dandelion roots! Once you’ve washed and chopped your roots into small pieces, place onto a baking sheet. Bake at 200°F until your kitchen begins to smell like chocolate. Allow to cool and keep your roasted roots in a jar to make the following tea.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root
- 4 cups filtered water
- Small cinnamon stick
- Pinch of cardamom (or half of a cardamom pod)
Preparation
Bring the 4 cups of water to a boil, add the dandelion root, cinnamon and cardamom and simmer for 20 minutes. Strain and pour into a mug or allow to cool and add ice.
