Method
 

  1. Wash and chop dandelion roots carefully into small pieces for even roasting and brewing.
  2. Spread roots onto a baking sheet and roast until dark, fragrant, and slightly crisp.
  3. Add roasted roots and water into a saucepan before simmering gently for rich flavor.
  4. Strain the liquid carefully to remove root pieces while keeping the drink smooth.

Roast roots lightly for milder flavor or longer for deeper smoky bitterness. Freeze roasted roots in airtight containers for future brewing convenience. Handle hot liquid carefully while straining to avoid spills. Customize flavors with vanilla, nutmeg, maple syrup, or cocoa powder. Store brewed coffee refrigerated for three days.
