A simple way to enjoy the benefits of Dandelions

Unique goodness


Dandelions are unique as every part of the plant (including the roots) can be used for healing and nutritional benefit.


Dandelion flowers and stems can be used to make a delightfully refreshing and powerfully invigorating drink.


Dandelion flowers cleanse the organs, in particular, the stomach and intestinal tract, gallbladder, bladder, lungs, uterus and heart. The stems of Dandelions cleanse the denser organs of the spleen, liver and brain by pushing out substances that are no longer useful.


Steeping Dandelion flowers and stalks overnight releases a rich source of minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients. You can also eat the Dandelion flowers afterwards as they provide an excellent source of fibre. 


If you notice a hint of bitterness you can sweeten with Raw Honey.


Ingredients

Dandelion flower heads (with stems)

Fresh filtered water

Raw Honey to taste


How to prepare

1) Collect your dandelions in a place free of any toxic spraying, fertilising or other pollutants.

2) Wash gently and thoroughly in running water.

3) Place in a long glass or jug until half filled with flowers (and stems).

4) Pour filtered water to the top of the long glass or jug.

5) Cover and leave overnight to steep.

6) Sweetening with Raw Honey to taste before drinking in the morning.

7) Eat the flowers afterwards for the fibre (optional).

8) Keep any remaining drink for up to 3 days in the refrigerator.


Flowering Season

In the British Isles, our Dandelions flower from May to October and most abundantly in May and June.
