How do you make dandelion root tea?

Question

After you pick it do you just boil the leaves, or the roots, or what do you do? Thanks! :-)

Answer 1

To make dandelion tea, use the dried chopped root or leaves of the dandelion. Pour a cup of very hot water over 1 or 2 teaspoons of the herb and allow it to steep for about 15 minutes. The tea can be blended with other herbs, such as licorice, and sweetened with honey.
