Ingredients
- fresh dandelion roots
Instructions
- Clean dandelion roots and remove as much dirt as possible.
- Slice roots up into 1/4 inch pieces.
- Dehydrate at 125°F for a few hours, until they become dry and brittle. Alternatively, lay them out in a single layer to dry for a couple days.
- Once the roots are dry, bake them at 350°F for 10-30 minutes, checking them frequently to make sure they don't burn. They are done roasting when they are golden brown and aromatic.
- To make tea, add 1 teaspoon roasted roots to a tea infuser per 1 cup of hot water. Steep for 10 minutes. Optionally add sweetener of choice and enjoy.
