-Roasted Dandelion Coffee Replacement-

We might like coffee, but that doesn't always mean that coffee likes us. If stomach trouble, burnout, and jitters have you needing to give up your favourite morning ritual, turn to this herbal alternative. Roasted dandelion offers a similar taste without the afternoon crash. Together with roots like chicory and budrock, this blend supports the liver's detoxification process and promotes glowing skin, while ashwagandha replenishes the nervous, digestive, and endocrine systems that coffee depletes.

MAKES 4 CUPS OF TEA

3 tablespoons roasted dandelion

2 teaspoons ashwagandha

1 teaspoon chicory

1 teaspoon budrock

1 teaspoon cacao nibs

OPTIONAL: A few drops of gentian flower essense, a pinch of cinnamon and/or cardamon, coconut creamer or oat milk, a favourite herbal honey such as Hawthorne Rose Honey (Link TBA)

NOTE: all herbs should be cut and sifted. Leave out cacao nibs if trying to remove caffeine entirely

To create this blend, add all the ingredients to a pint jar, put the lid on, and shake to combine. Label the jar with the tea name, ingredients, and date you made. Store out of direct sunlight.

To prepare the brew, add 1 tablespoon of the blend per 8 ounces of water to a french press, a jar of your choice, or a reusable tea strainer. Cover and steep for 10-15 minutes depending on desired strength. For an even more robust flavour, add filtered water to a small pot and bring to a gentle simmer. add 1 tablespoon of the blend per 8 ounces of water to the pot and simmer, covered, for 5-10 minutes. turn off the heat and steep, still covered, for an additional 10-15 minutes. Strain and serve with your favourite fixings.
