Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups water
  • ¼ cup fresh dandelion flowers
  • Honey to taste
  • optional-lemon

Instructions
 

  • Wash your dandelion plants well, be sure to remove all dirt, and pull off any dead leaves.
  • Pluck out the yellow petals only, a little green won’t hurt but it will affect the light flavor of your tea.
  • Boil 2 cups of water and pour over flower petals in a jar. Allow to steep for 10 minutes.
  • Pour through a fine mesh strainer, alternatively you could put your dandelion flowers in a mesh tea strainer or bag. Squeeze out all the liquid to get every drop of the golden goodness.

Notes

Add honey and lemon if desired to taste.
 Enjoy the flavor and the benefits!
