The the verdict on my dandelion tea…

 

I know you’re just dying to hear about how my dandelion root tea went?! 

Well, if I’m totally honest with you, it was kind of gross! 🤢

I did add lemon and honey, but even then… It tasted a bit like holland and barrett.

 

The good thing is- if you can push past the taste there are tons of health beneifts.

 

  • Helps with digestion 

  • Supports detoxification

  • Keeps you hydrated 

     

And helps remove excess salt and water from the body. 

It’s a powerful little root, and worth a try for the incredible health benefits. (I’ll share the method later) 

I’m glad I tried it, and I’m going to see how I go with it. 

Wellness is such an individual thing isn’t it? What works for me, might not work for you and vice versa. 

That's exactly why I always encourage my GlowState course students to  try different things to discover which combination of things work for their own bodies and minds. 

It’s in the trial and error that we find unexpected and unheard of methods and tips that can really bring us back to center, or even totally transform our health and wellbeing. 

 

I’ll be sharing some of my own incredible natural methods in a few days time…

So keep your eyes peeled - This is something I think you’ll really benefit from, I've been working really hard on it *whispers - and it’s totally free!

If you did want to try the Dandelion root Tea (I mean, the health benefits are WILD)- here’s the method I used…

 

Ingredients:

 

  • Dandelion roots (harvested from pesticide-free areas)

  • Water

  • Honey & Lemon

 

Instructions:

 

  • Harvest dandelion roots from an area where pesticides have not been used. Make sure to wash the roots thoroughly to remove any dirt or debris.

  • Preheat your oven to 250°F / 120°C.

  • Spread the cleaned dandelion roots on a baking sheet in a single layer.

  • Roast the roots in the preheated oven for about 2 hours, or until they are completely dry and browned. This roasting process helps to enhance the flavor of the roots.

  • Once the roots are roasted and cooled, you can crush or chop them into smaller pieces to increase the surface area for brewing. 

  • Bring water to a boil in a pot or kettle. Use approximately 1 tablespoon of dried, roasted dandelion root for every cup of water.

  • Add the crushed or chopped dandelion roots to the boiling water.

  • Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-10 minutes.

  • Remove the pot from the heat and let the tea steep for an additional 5-10 minutes to extract the flavors fully. 

  • Strain the tea through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the dandelion roots.

  • You can add honey, lemon, or other flavorings to enhance the taste.

 

Let me know what you think.
