Ingredients
1 tablespoon dandelion flowers
1 tablespoon dandelion root (chopped or dried)
1–2 teaspoons honey (optional)
2 cups water
Teapot or heat-safe jar

Instructions
Start by bringing 2 cups of water to a boil. You want it hot enough to extract the goodness from the root and flowers.
Place one tablespoon each of dandelion root and flowers into your teapot or heat-safe jar.
Pour the boiling water over the herbs and cover. Let it steep for 5–7 minutes if you like a stronger brew, steep up to 10 minutes.
Strain the tea into your cup, discarding the herbs. Add honey or your favorite sweetener to taste.
Sip slowly and enjoy the earthy, grounding flavors of nature’s most underestimated plant.
