I’ve commented this before on an Emmy video involving dandelions, but roasted dandelion root tea absolutely saved me during my second pregnancy! And I do not say that lightly. I developed some very severe conditions due to my liver failing to function normally. This was entirely caused by pregnancy. It manifested into an excruciating, burning, itchy rash covering my entire body due to bile build up in my liver and the toxins trying to make their way out of my skin. I am not exaggerating when I say I looked like I had the worst case of chicken pox imaginable. My skin was covered in red welts/hives and it hurt to even put clothes on. I was constantly tearing at my skin because of the intense itch, and I didn’t sleep at night. Some nights, I would sit in a cool bath for hours crying. This lasted for 23 weeks of my pregnancy. As you can imagine, I was desperate to get rid of it because I was so miserable. I was given steroids and many other treatments by my doctor, all of which failed. I researched day in and day out, and finally discovered that dandelion root tea has been used forever as a natural healer of the liver and a natural liver detox. It was worth a try. After 2 weeks of drinking it, the rash that covered 95% of my body was only covering about 50%, and my bloodwork was coming back more normal. After a month of drinking it twice a day, I was nearly completely cured up until I gave birth. I only wished I’d found out about it sooner. I have such a huge appreciation for dandelions now. They’re a gift to this earth.

Thank you for showing us your beautiful chickens! So cute. 🐓 💕

I'm going to admit I didn't believe this would really taste like coffee. I made some last night and I am shocked how close it taste to coffee. Mine tasted like a slightly weaker version of the coffee I usually drink (Newman's medium roast). But that could be that I didn't steep enough of the dandelion root OR I didn't cook it in the oven long enough. It did have that chocolately smell when cooking but some videos said that you almost need to burn it. Also, many videos said that you needed to dry the dandelion root for 2 -3 hrs BEFORE cooking in the oven for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. I eliminated that lengthy step by putting the DR in the food processor and chopping it up tiny. No need to dry it out for hours before cooking it. Thumbs Up!

Emmy! I made this today! I drank mine with a liquid creamer and it tasted like the old fashioned hard toffee candies! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you so much for this recipe. It's been added to our collection of drinks. Now excuse me, I've got a yard to weed.

For the caffeine kick, try yaupon, a holly native to the southeast U.S. Probably you can get it dried... maybe it could be added to dandelion root. Don’t be put off by its scientific name being Ilex vomitoria. You have to drink a LOT for that.

I drank some years ago at a relative's place, coffee combined with dandelion tea. I remember it being a very good combo. Now I know why.

Uncooked rice can also be roasted and made as coffee alternative. I've heard of some people here in the Philippines doing it when they want to avoid caffeine but wants to drink something similar to coffee.

Seeing Dandelions lifts the soul. Happy flower. They were my father's favourite flower.

Those chickens are gonna love you for upturning all that dirt. Plenty of fresh dirt full of bugs to dig through!

I could watch you interact with your chickens for hours. Absolutely precious!

Memories of my childhood, Mom making dandelion salad. Eaten often in the summer. Dandelion leaf's, diced onion, boiled little red potatoes, hard boiled eggs and crisp fried bacon chopped with a sweet & sour dressing. If Mom didn't have bacon or it was too hot in the kitchen she would get about 4 big spoon's of bacon grease that Mom saved in a silver metal container. The dressing was hot so when it's poured over the salad it would wilt the dandelions a little and the potatoes would soak up the sweet & sour dressing.

I have a friend in Scotland that sent me the recipe to make this and one of the things he said (after I'd already dug up roots from plants WITH flowers), that tastes even better when you harvest them from the plant with no flowers, or dead flowers. I'm going to try with mine from with flower plants first and will then try the other way. Fun video! Glad I found you in my search!

Dandelion roots are high in inulin, a resistant starch which lower blood glucose. You get more benefit, though, if you harvest the roots in the fall. The plant has been storing energy as inulin all summer long and is no longer putting energy into flowering.

The leaves, and flowers, make sun tea really well too.

Usually it's hung dry in a old pillow case. Chop up to grind. Used with chicory to take some of the strong bitter taste that chicory give you. Love seeing these shows.

Thing you missed was that the coffee pot with used grounds that they carried everywhere during the civil war. Using the old coffee pot like a good used percolator will give even more coffee taste.

This reminds me of Navajo Tea or green thread tea which is made from a similar plant. you should definitely try it if you can get your hands on it. It has a very earthy yet sweet flavor and taste so good. I live here in AZ so it's very common on the Native American Reservations

Loved seeing your chickens and the backyard. You're such a sweet, caring, animal person!

Emmy is a living thing person! Adore her

"U guys gonna go peck around?" Enjoy ur day. Awwwwwweee.😆😊

They also enrich the soil, they pull nutrients up from deep as they are a deep rooter!

Your hens look great especially considering it’s right out of winter!! And I love that you mentioned the bees issuing the dandelions as an early source of nectar. So important and as usual Emmy is so so conscientious 🙏🏻

i make wine, tea, salads, everything possible from dandelions. idk why people don't appreciate them more!

Someone get this Amazing lady an Emmy in all seriousness though you do us all a great service in these videos thank you Emmy 😊

I LOVE the piano music at the end of this video.

Jesus !!!!! Emmy whenever I see dandelions I m thinking of you........ YOU HAVE MADE EVERYTHING POSSIBLE OUT OF THEM. Thank you for teaching us so many different things.

my thoughts exactly

I think I may try this!! I harvest dandelion greens in my yard to feed to my guinea pigs, snails, lizards, tortoise and chinchilla and they LOVE the greens as well as the flowers!! It always makes me happy to see the bees in the yard too, I always leave most of the flowers for them

Don’t chinchillas need dry food?

@@Voult_Bioy of course! But it should never be their only food source. 70% of their diet just timothy hay, fresh dark leafy greens account for another 10-15% beside high quality hay based pellets :) its fruits, veggies and nuts they cant really have.

I'm a big fan of dandelion coffee! I used to have instant dandelion coffee packs all the time. It is really a satisfying drink!

You can also add the flower petals to your salad. Soak the flowers to remove any dirt or bugs. Pinch the green cap off the bottom, sprinkle the petals on your salad. A warning! Pulling the roots will leave divot holes in your lawn! I pulled chicory up by the roots for several years and realized that "dips" were being left in the lawn. Now I wait for dry weather, push a hole next to the root, and pour boiling water down the hole. The thirsty root will eagerly take up the boiling water and cook itself.

This looks amazing! I've never heard of coffee made from okra seeds -- that's got to be an experience. Love your gorgeous chickens. I bet they're the happiest, best cared-for chickens in the country.

Yay I love okra

Dandelion is delicious and it's root is so good for you! The leaf is great in salad. Chicory makes great coffee too!

I love the way you describe the flavors. Thank you for sharing

In the early 1970's I met my great, great, great grandmother who was 113 at the time. One of the things I remember her saying about living during the Civil War was that food was hard to come by as they had to resort to eating grass and weeds. Also that the great Depression was like a banquet compared to the Civil War.

*I laughed so hard when you said your husband asked are you cooking something sweet? then you replied changing your voice to a 1920’s gangsters moll wife (Nar honey its just dandilion roots!) 😆😂🤣👍🏼*

High praise, indeed, seeing that you are normally such a coffee purist!

You're one of my favourite channels. I discover so many new recipes I've never heard of before. The way you describe the taste of the flavours you taste are fascinating to listen to. Keep it up! ♥️

the way emmy says "enjoy your day" to her chickens,,, for some reason is so wholesome

I've been dying to see someone actually make this!

3:07 “Girl why are you messing up my yard???!”

I have 3 Australorps. Of all of the chickens I've had over the years, my beautiful black girls are my favorites. They are incredible layers (2 hens laying, one "retired")With only 2 laying, I still get at least a dozen eggs every week---more than the two of us use so we give then away ever few weeks. There is a site on KZread that tells you all of the reasons not to dig out your dandelions. They are the first plants to grow and they break up the clay underground.

Washing the Dandelion flower is great for salads. Really good for the complexion and full of anti oxidants. Dandelion greens are great for salads .
