Dandelion Root Tea

[SeaBreeze]

With all the dandelions in my yard, too bad I've been too lazy to make a tea out of them. I have used Dandelion Tincture from the health food store in the past, supposed to be good for kidneys and liver. Here's a simple recipe if anyone's interested.

Recipes: Prepare Dandelion Root Tea


Boil a quart of water in a pot Reduce the heat.

Add 2 tbsp. of cleaned and chopped fresh dandelion roots to the water.

Let the water simmer for thirty minutes, keeping it covered during this time.
Then, remove the pot from the heat source.

Following this, add two tbsp. of freshly picked and chopped dandelion leaves.

Let the leaves steep into the liquid for twenty
minutes. After which, the liquid can be strained.

You will benefit by drinking two cups of the herbal dandelion tea every day. (from PeacefulMind.com)
