Dandelion Root Tea - Unroasted

$14.95

This is the unroasted counterpart to our extremely popular Roasted Dandelion Root Tea. In regards to benefits, we'd actually choose unroasted over the roasted variety as unroasted is a little more potent in this case - but not by much. Roasted is normally chosen due to its taste and likeness to coffee.

Liver function properties are still present within the unroasted variety, along with containing a range of vitamins such as A, C, B and D.

Brewing

Pan Simmer Method - Stronger Extraction

  1. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried dandelion root per cup of water into a small saucepan.
  2. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce to a low simmer for 10 to 15 minutes.
  3. Remove from heat, cover and let sit for another 5 minutes.
  4. Strain and serve.

This method extracts more of the earthy, slightly bitter compounds and gives a fuller-bodied cup.

Hot Water Steep - Lighter Cup

  1. Add 1 to 2 teaspoons of dried dandelion root per cup.
  2. Pour freshly boiled water over the root.
  3. Cover and steep for 10 to 15 minutes.
  4. Strain and enjoy.

This produces a milder infusion with less intensity than simmering.
