Dandelion Drink...

Whenever I deal with dandelions in spring, I am reminded that they ARE edible plants - roots, leaves and flowers. If only people would eat them, they wouldn't be the nuisance they are in our gardens! (So maybe we should start eating them...)

But... I've never had the slightest urge to do so!

Fast forward to this past Christmas... My daughter introduced me to a new hot drink she was enjoying... a coffee alternative - made from roasted dandelion root (and chicory).

I was curious... so I gave it a try.

Loved the taste! Very much like coffee...

(Though I still need my morning coffee to wake up!)
