Dandelion

Herbal Tea Type: Dandelion - 50g, 25g

Dandelion is a symbol of hope, healing, dreams, wishes and resilience to many cultures around the world. Once looked down on, dandelion has a history too deep to go into here but I encourage you to read more about dandelion and its ties to black history.

After a nice winter, I look forward to seeing them pop up in my yard (zone 4-5A) where I know it is safe to harvest them pesticide free. The first green spring leaves are always the least bitter and are often preferred. I love the leaves in a salad or sandwich, made into a pesto or soups.

HOT BREWING INSTRUCTIONS: Bring filtered or freshly drawn cold water to a rolling boil. Use 1 tsp (2g to 5g) of loose tea for each 1 cup (237ml) of water. Pour the boiling water over the tea leaves into the cup or teapot. Cover and let steep for 4-5 minutes according to taste (the longer the steeping time the stronger the tea). Covering your tea will keep all of those beneficial oils in your tea!

Hot tea or cold infusion: 1 – 4 cups a day (237ml – 946ml per day)

IDEAL BREWING TEMPERATURE: 100ºC/212ºF
