I first tried dandelion coffee a couple of years ago as I was wanting to detox from caffine for a while. My friend had some dandelion coffee which she offered me to try. I rushed to the health food shop the next day to get myself some as I liked it so much. With regular coffee I take milk, but when I drink dandelion coffee I much prefer it black. It has a deep, earthy taste which to me has a hint of liquorice to the taste. The bitterness of the dandelion stimulates the liver, bile flow and digestion.

I have not yet tried to make my own, but I do intend to dig up the roots of dandelions sometime when I see a large area covered in dandelions and to dry them out & roast them and make some of my own. Yet annother thing to add to my things to do list to expand upon my homemade kitchen larder.
