Dandelion Coffee
Herbal Recipe
Dandelion Coffee is a natural beverage without any of the injurious effects that ordinary tea and coffee have on the nerves and digestive organs.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup dandelion roots
2 teaspoons chocolate bits
2 tablespoons rum
Directions:
Collect dandelion roots from healthy plants. Wash and scrub roots to remove all dirt.
Dry the roots thoroughly and roast in a 250 degree oven for 2 to 4 hours, until they are brittle and dark brown inside.
Grind them and use the powder to make a 4 cups coffee. A drip pot with filter paper works well.
Add chocolate and rum to serve after dinner. Serves 4.
