Ingredients
  

Tea Base
  • 2 tablespoons dandelion roots dried and chopped
  • 4 cups water filtered
Optional Flavorings
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional sweetness
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice fresh
  • 1 2 teaspoon cinnamon optional warmth

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Strainer
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Knife
  • Freezer
  • Mugs

Method
 

  1. Rinse dandelion roots thoroughly and chop evenly for balanced flavor during steeping.
  2. Add water and dandelion roots into a saucepan and bring the mixture gently to a boil.
  3. Reduce heat and simmer until the tea develops deep earthy aroma and rich color.
  4. Strain the tea carefully into mugs to remove root pieces before serving.
  5. Stir in honey, lemon juice, or cinnamon for customized flavor and smoother finish.

Notes

Simmer longer for stronger earthy flavor or briefly for lighter smoother tea texture. Freeze cooled tea in ice cube trays for future drinks. Handle hot tea carefully while straining to prevent spills. Customize flavors with ginger, maple syrup, or vanilla. Store refrigerated for three days and reheat gently before serving.
