Prepare the Dandelion and Chicory Root:
In a saucepan, add the dried dandelion root (and chicory root if you're using it) and 2 cups of water.
Boil and Simmer:
Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower the heat to a simmer. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes. This will allow the dandelion root to infuse the water with its rich flavor, similar to coffee.
Strain the Liquid:
Once the liquid has brewed and developed a rich, coffee-like color, strain the roots from the liquid using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth.
Optional Add-ins:
If you'd like to add a touch of sweetness or flavor, stir in a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup, and add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavor. You can also add non-dairy milk of your choice to make it creamy.
Serve:
Pour the dandelion root coffee into two cups. Serve warm and enjoy this caffeine-free, herbal coffee alternative!
Benefits: Dandelion root coffee is often used as a caffeine-free alternative to traditional coffee. It's known for its potential liver detoxifying benefits and its ability to aid digestion. Chicory root adds a slightly nutty flavor and may also have digestive benefits.
Enjoy your cup of herbal warmth and energy!
