It tastes kind of like dirt. No kidding. It has an earthy taste. It’s a root. But if you are of the right mindset, you can grow to like it. I love it! You can also buy a pound of dandelion root online, like in a Frontier Coop bag, and roast it yourself. It keeps forever. You don’t have to refrigerate it. It’s just like any tea.

I’ve been drinking dandelion root coffee for a few yrs. I love it too and recently discovered how to make chai using it. It’s great! The secret ingredient to making it like real chai is using maple syrup instead of honey or sugar.

Dandelion root coffee is great for the liver and is a mild laxative.
Dandelion tea on the other hand is more of a diuretic.

I started drinking dandelion tea (store bought and expensive) because I heard that it may have cancer fighting abilities. I am a cancer survivor, in remission for over two years. I do not know if it actually does fight against cancer, but I am now an avid drinker of the tea! I am keenly interested in making my own and thank you for the recipe.

One commenter noted that it tastes like dirt… uummm, I don’t find that at all but then I brew mine with chicory. It doesn’t taste like coffee, which I adore, but it is a tasty substitute. I drink mine with a bit of cane sugar and real, full-fat coconut milk… delicious!!

Thank you for the recipe on how to roast dandelion root for coffee. I’ve never done this before so I am a total novice. I foraged the roots from the far back portion of my yard and was able to yield a small portion which was enough for 6 cups. It was a bit labor intense to make that’s for sure. I’m glad I did it though. I’ve always wanted to. And now, having to be shelter in place, it provided the perfect time.
I especially liked the part during the roasting process, when it smelled like chocolate cake. Unfortunately, my magic bullet stopped working before I could get it ground to my preference but I was able to enough to make it!

Thanks for sharing! I have underactive thyroid problem and unfortunately can’t drink normal coffee. I will definitely try this one because I heard a lot of good reviews and that you even can restore hormone balance ?
