I am lucky to have tons of dandelion in my yard and the flowers are great for tea, omelette and jelly, the leaves are great for salad, omelette, sandwiches. God gave us this amazing plant and people are destroying them because they want a beautiful lawn.😢

I'm so excited to make dandelion tea to naturally treat my body! Thank you for the thorough instructional video on how to make tea out of this wonderful plant!

I don't have a dehydrator, so I put everything I dry on baking sheets and leave them in a hot car on a hot, sunny day. Thank you for this recipe! 8 C water with 1/2 C chopped up fresh roots. Boil, then simmer for 40 min. Add a little more dried roots since they are less potent than fresh root. Has anyone ever blanched, then frozen the roots?

They do the same thing as potatoes, parsnips, and cattail roots if you blanch and freeze. They get mealy.

I am so impressed by you. I've binged most your videos. You're so cute and informative and simple yet technical. I'm so impressed!!!

This is a great video! Thank you for sharing.

I make this often. Thank you for sharing

Grateful for your channel. So masterfully done, thank you so much. 👏

THANK YOU!!! was tryna find a recipe

When I dry the roots I just cut them into small slices about 4mm. I then put them on a rack and dry them at room temperature. I leave them on top of the refrigerator and I don't waste any electricity to dry them. They can dry in one day if you make small slices.

wonderful presentation

Thanks so much!

I don't discard the hairy root I cleaned it good as well and boil it together

I appreciate you. I’ve seen quite a few garden based KZread videos and your information and presentation is concise, clear and complete. It’s amazing how many lack these qualities. Thank you and best wishes. ❤

Wonderful. Many thanks. Have to invest in a dehydrator xx

Great instruction video. Growing up I was taught that dandelions were nothing more than a weed. I am so glad I do my own research. I am curious to know if the tea can be canned for use later on?

Thanks

Great

I buy the leaf 🍃 at the farmers market that I uses in my smoothie for liver ailments. I don’t have access to the root. I found the organic dry version at my health food store. How much of the dry dandelion root to water to make tea. I love the taste of both. Thank you for your video I just stumbled on. 😊

Great video i used to munch the leavers as a kid i dont know why but when my uncle saw me he went mad at me telling me there poisonous but for some reason i thought are they the roots were massive in my uncles garden, it very difficult to find them these days were i live i just remembered they got a fleshy stem but i had not seen any for years id mistuck one similar plants for dandelion but the plants flowered stem was solid green but had a dandelion like flower it must have been a cross weed variety they do help with constipation which i have suffered with for a few years yes the fresh brewed ones are better but like i said its like they died a death over the past fifty years i also got to picking wild blackberries there's a bit of a knack when picking them as you can easily squash them but they go great with oats

Great video.. my mom has pancreatic cancer and I’m gonna start doing this for her and if you have any more videos that help people with cancer with other certain kinds of roots and herbs, please can you post it and let me know. Thank you.

I suggest what I call ABC for Cancer support when helping others. Astragalus, Birch (bark, polypore), Chaga, Burdock and Wild Carrot. Some combination of these helpful herbs, but of course consult a professional because the best support will vary with what treatment she's using or not using as well as other factors. Green blessings to you both.

Great video I like it ,am in Nigeria how do I get the dandelion root

Hello, love your channel. What about the leaves? Do we only harvest the root and discard the leaves? Are there any nutritional value to steeping the dandelion leaves?

@CleanFoodLiving

Yes, the leaves are very nutritous and detoxifying as well.

Could you use an oven to dry?

This video was so helpful. Can you use a Air fryer to dry the roots?

@CleanFoodLiving

3 жыл бұрын

No, the airfryer will cook and crisp them... A dehydrator is at low heat, slowly drying them (not cooking them) which preserves the phytonutrients of the roots.

@@CleanFoodLiving is there another way to dry them without a dehydrater¿

@CleanFoodLiving

2 жыл бұрын

Yes, in a regular oven at the lowest heat your oven will go. Keep the oven door cracked during drying. When they are hard with zero moisture remaining is when they're done. Or try drying them in the sun on a series of hot pure sun days. Rotate often till crispy hard. Zero moisture can remain if you want long term storage.

Very helpful video. Thank you. I have a question about soaking the tea. You mentioned it was optional, and I noticed you opted to do so. Does it make it easier to cut, or make the steeping more efficacious? Follow up; Do you soak the dried roots before steeping them as well?

@CleanFoodLiving

2 жыл бұрын

Hi, it makes them mildly easier to cut, but the further soaking mainly pulls off more dirt from the crevices that even washing couldn't get to. It doesn't effect steeping efficaciousness. No need to soak the dried roots before simmering.🙂
