Roasted Dandelion Root Tea

Prep Time1 hour
Cook Time10 minutes

Ingredients

To roast:

  • 2-3 cups Dandelion root

Per 1 cup of tea:

  • 1-2 teaspoons roasted Dandelion root powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ginger powder
  • ¼ teaspoon liquorice root powder
  • Hot water

Instructions

To roast:

  • Put Dandelion root in an oven dish and bake in the oven at 150C for approximately 1 hour. You will start smelling the roots and they should be lightly browned when done.
  • Allow to cool and blend into a fine powder.
  • Store in a glass jar with a sealed lid.

Per 1 cup of tea:

  • Put a small tea strainer into a cup and add the roasted dandelion root powder, ginger powder and liquorice root powder.
  • Fill the cup with boiling water and allow to steep for about 5-10 minutes.

Notes

Since the tea is quite fine, you can also use a French press to make it. The French press will separate out more of the loose tea than a tea strainer or tea pot.
If you are ginger lovers like us, you are welcome to add more of it!
