Dandelion Coffee Substitute
3 Parts Roasted Dandelion Root
2 Parts Roasted Chicory Root
1 part Sarsaparilla Root
1 part Irish Moss
1 part Fo-Ti
1/2 Part Licorice Root
1/2 Part Dried Orange Peel
Grind all the dried ingredients to the same coarseness as you like your coffee and brew the same way you would coffee. If you don't want to put licorice in your blend, you may substitute powdered malt instead.
You can add milk or drink black. This is similar to coffee and non-addicting!
Tips and Hints on Harvesting and storing Dandelion Root:
For year round medicinal use, chop up the roots into small pices and dry them in a warm place, with lots of air circulation, or in a slow dryer at a temperature not to exceed 100 degrees. Chop and roast in the oven until it turns a rich brown color and feels very brittle. Store in a dark, glass bottle with a tight fitting lid.
