DESCRIPTION
Earthy and nutty in flavor, dandelion is enjoyed as a tea and blends well. Some say dandelion teas have a slight bitterness, while others use dandelion tea as a coffee substitute as it has no caffeine. You can even use the dried leaves sprinkled on salads and other dishes whether served at a tea or garden party, formal dinner, or your kitchen table. To make dandelion tea, steep the leaves or flowers in hot water for 5-10 minutes, then strain and enjoy. Goes well with peppermint and chamomile flowers – enjoy with a dash of honey.
