I love fall! The crunch and smell of fallen colorful leaves under foot. Pumpkins. Spices. Chilly nights and...warm cozy drinks. So far this is my favorite. It has a great nutty, roasted flavor that makes it a great alternative to coffee. Don't get me wrong, I love me some coffee, but coffee is very acidic, and when consumed in large quantities can cause inflammation within the body. Dandelion root tea has the exact opposite affect. Plus it's delicious. I love adding Young Living essential oils to enhance the flavor and nutritional benefits. I love Traditional Medicinals herbals teas, and right now there on sale at the grocery store for $2.99 each! Woot!
Some of the benefits of Dandelion Root:
- Helps aid in healthy digestion
- Helps aid and improve liver function
- Purifies the kidneys
- Helps reduce inflammation within the body
- High in antioxidants which help to fight off free radicals protecting DNA from damage
- A natural immune booster
This drink is super delicious and easy to make. Here's how!
Ingredients:
2 Roasted dandelion root tea bags ( Traditional Medicinals is my favorite)
1 cup boiling water
1 cup hot almond milk
4 drops liquid stevia
1 drop of Young Living essential oil (Cinnamon Bark, Nutmeg, or Clove)
Directions:
Pour one cup bowling water over tea bags. Let steep for 5-8 minutes. Add 4 drops of liquid stevia and 1 drop of YL essential oil. Heat almond milk. I used this to make the milk frothy. You can also use a whisk to make the milk foamy. Add milk to your steeped tea and enjoy.
