Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 handful Fresh dandelion leaves or flowers (or dried) Rinsed
  • 2 cups Hot water Boiled
  • Optional: honey, lemon, or ginger for added flavor To taste

Method
 

  1. Harvest the Dandelions: If using fresh dandelions, rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt.
  2. Boil Water: Bring water to a rolling boil. I usually use about 2 cups for a strong brew.
  3. Steep the Dandelions: Place the dandelion leaves or flowers in a teapot or cup. Pour the hot water over them.
  4. Let it Steep: Allow it to steep for about 10 minutes. The longer you steep, the stronger the flavor.
  5. Strain and Serve: Strain the tea into a cup. You can add honey, lemon, or ginger if you like.

Notes

Dandelion tea can have a slightly bitter taste, so adjust the steeping time to your preference. Adding a touch of honey or lemon can help balance the flavor.
