Ingredients:
Freshly picked dandelion leaves (or flowers for a sweeter tea)
Water
Instructions:
Clean the Dandelions: Rinse the dandelion leaves or flowers thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or insects.
Prepare the Water: Bring water to a boil in a pot. For one cup of tea, use about one cup of water.
Steep: Add the clean dandelion leaves or flowers to the pot and let them steep for about 10 minutes. The longer you steep, the more potent the flavor and benefits.
Strain and Enjoy: Strain the mixture into your favorite cup, discarding the leaves or flowers. If desired, you can sweeten your tea with a bit of honey or enjoy it as is to fully appreciate its earthy taste.
