Dandelion has to be one of the most underutilized plants. Every part of the plant is edible. The roots can be eaten like any other root vegetable. I add them to soups and stews instead of or in addition to carrots, rutabagas, etc. This video gives the best instruction I have seen for dandelion coffee. You provide enough details for viewers to be successful on their first attempt. Sometimes I brew dandelion coffee by itself and other times I mix roasted dandelion root with regular coffee and brew it. Deep topsoil will yield the biggest dandelion roots. I let the dandelions grow in my vegetable gardens unless they are interfering with what I planted. I get foot long roots from that deep fertile soil.
There's also dandelion jam/jelly. You make it with the flowers, it's actually pretty easy to make, and turns out looking like quince jelly, and in terms of color like a lighter colored honey.
@H O N K H O N K I've also done my fair share of over night Bushcraft and surviving out in the boonies. There's nothing wrong with indulging in video games.
Excellent video. I gonna have to get myself some more roots to get through wintertime. Dont you mind the bitterness of the coffee? I always let them soak in water for some hours before I roast them so all the bitterness goes away. thanks Lilly
+Survival Lilly Thank you my friend. Yes I too wanted to sort of stock up for the winter. I do wish I had a greater supply of this resource. Living where we do, there are not so many dandelions around. I don't percieve this dandelion coffee to be as bitter as regular coffee when made like I show in the video. My previous preparation of this, it ended up darker roasted and had an even mellower taste than this batch. I personally prefer a more robust taste such as this one has.

Those of us who truly love the wilderness and love to keep learning about it often visit many different youtube channels as well as books and real life personal experiences. I don't care where I learn from as long as I learn. Many of the well known youtube "bushcrafters" and "survivalists" have viewed my videos, survival lily's videos as well as many other videos. we all can learn from each other. I do know that it has been personally recommended by some of my viewers to Dave Canterbury to watch several of my videos.

I have been weeding this plant out my garden for as long as i can remember and never knew how versatile it actually is? Man you can eat the whole plant! I never knew this! I will never kill another Dandelion ever! I love your videos man😊
This video really hits home with me, when I was growing up dandelions was a normal meal on the table, my mammaw would mix the leaves with kale and fix it just like spinach, with salt and butter. I always looked forward to the nights she fixed that. Well anyways making coffee from the roots and tea from the flower was also a common thing so I really enjoyed this video 😊
Skeledon Bushcraft and survival: when I was a really tiny girl I had a great, great aunt, who was well up in her 90s, that would prepare them. They were so good it was incredible. Myself and my mother have both tried our hand at it, but they turned out terrible every time. Just bitter and nasty. I’ve gotta find me some better instructions. It was even better when I use the first dandelion leaves that came up through the soil in the spring. I’m hoping it’s a matter of using a little more salt or soaking them or changing the water or something. Any insight you can provide would be welcomed and appreciated.
I watched this video last year and followed your instructions. Except I chopped my roots a bit finer and roasted them a little longer to where they were fairly dark. It tasted wonderful ..smelled and tasted a bit like chocolate :D Thanks so much for sharing !
At our house you can pull dandelion roots that look like carrots, they’re huge! A great place to pull dandelion roots is in sandy soil. I roasted a bunch one year and used it as tea or coffee, and I loved it. I also use the young leaves along with plantain in salad. I forgot to mention that I gathered the ground roots in a coffee filter, way less messy and I just roasted the whole root and used an electric grinder.
Good video! One thing , a good ( trick) is to put a wedge , wooden spoon or something on the oven door , to keep it open by half an inch or 1 invh open , that way the steam from the wet Roots will escape overtime drying them quicker and cutting your oven and fuel use down by half! Steam rises even if you cannot actually see the steam it Rises and escapes into the air outside the oven , if you keep the oven door open by 1 inch or so! Also boiling the roots might get some of the bitterness out and hopefully no more before you cut them up and pieces,! Good video thank you I learned a lot! God bless you!
I think it's a good idea, I bought some in Walmart, and I was thinking about making it at home, but it takes too long to dry. Maybe dry it in the sun or in an air fryer.
As usual, a great video my friend. My grandparents used to make it. If I ever tried it I can't remember. But I am going dandelion root hunting. I love my coffee. It would be nice to be able to make my own to carry hunting and fishing with me. I carry my haversack with me most places I go. It amazed my fishing buddy last winter when I pulled out my little folding stove, started a fire, and asked him if he wanted some coffee. It was very cold on the water. The coffee was hot and good and the fire was warm. We had a great time. He has been learning to hunt and fish with me. It is good to have a hunting and fishing partner and someone to share the knowledge that was passed down to me. I like to be comfortable in the woods. I used to just tough it out with the weather and its miseries. But at my age I have learned it is better to be happy and comfortable than cold and miserable. Keep up the videos and good works. Wish all the best to you and yours
+dalton vickers I like and follow the same phylosophy of being comfortable when in the woods. The "roughing it" way is for folks who don't know any better. :o)
Thanks I appreciate you being clear about the baking temps and time frames. I have been dry curing some chicory and dandelion root at room temp for the last week and needed a better guide on the toasting. I just made a chicory/dandelion Brew that came out nice and dark and tastes quite similar to coffee and could very easily take it's place on the range or around the campfire 🔥 ♠️
@@ebrelus7687 I tried "Dandy Blend" coffee alternative - it's bitter, strong &delicious! It's a blend of dandelion root, chicory root, sugar beetroot, barley & rye, so I'm going to make my own bc it's expensive. 55 yrs young :) I have been learning a lot this yr regarding edible weeds, fermenting, making tinctures, nurishing herbal infusions. Time to get back to nature!
I found your PVC flute, then it had a link for this and wow and I grateful. I've been wanting to learn how to make dandelion tea for a long time, you've got it from start to finish and I am grateful. Now, since the roots are dug in the fall, I will have to wait a while, but at least I know how, when, and can save ourselves a lot of money doing it all ourselves. I do NOT get rid of dandelions in our lawn/yard. Thank you! Blessings!
I absolutely love your videos. I always end up on them too, I was looking at tent videos and somehow came back to you. I wish my dad was in better health to pass down his knowledge, but Im glad there's folks like you that give clear direct instructions and something about your mannerisms and way you go about it that I prefer over others. Thank you!
As a child I can remember my aunt making dandelion coffee. It tasted good. I also made some. My aunt used to also make Dandelion wine. I believe the coffee can be a diuretic just like proper coffee. Many thanks for bringing back happy memories. Sandy
+Wiltshire Man Glad I was the vehicle to bring back good memories. Yes I have read that that dandelion can have a diuretic effect but personal experience tells me it is much more subtle than regular coffee if even any at all.
Wiltshire Man One year my mom decided she would make dandilion wine. She bought all sorts of limes and lemons and oranges. Then we went to a big grass field and picked dandelion fuzz. Gallons ot it! She had a huge crock and filled it almost to the top and she covered with cheese cloth and a huge plate she got comewhere. She skimmed it daily and in a few months, began to bottle it in glass vinegar jars. It was almost clear and she would lift the lids to let the air escape. Then the time came to drink it and it was about 200 proof! The best tasting stuff ever. Was like champagne! Yummy
Fermented dandelion leaves would be similar to kraut. I have added dandelion green, lambs quarters and alfalfa to my kraut before. If you wanted to do a dandelion leaf ferment, collect a lot of leaves cut them, Salt them then mash them until the liquid covers the solid parts of the leaves... Keep the leaves submerged with a plate or rock Should take a similar amount of time as kraut.
Lonnie, I don't know if you read many of your comments but I just wanted to say that the mellow nature of your speech mannerisms helps me greatly with my anxiety and panic attacks, when I feel an episode coming on , I just pop on to your channel and listen. also your quality of a teacher is unparalleled and has improved my skill as a woodsman immensely. I hope you and your wife as well as your k9 have a good and safe winter. i wish you a pleasant journey through this life .....and God bless
Thank you for those kind words. I read each and every comment. Always have and will continue to always try keep that up as long as the channel is small enough to enable me to do so. Glad to see the multi-use you are getting out of the videos
Far North Bushcraft And Survival. Lonnie you are very very wise in the woods and Bush. I only started watching your videos today and I can't seem to stop watching them. I'm subscribing to your channel. I can definitely learn alot from watching you. thank you for putting up videos.
I use an iron frying pan. I have a HUGE iron pan. After the chopped root is dry I roast it in a smaller iron pan using my rocket stove. No oven. I use 50/50 Dandelion and Chicory root. Lots of wild Chicory around here plus tons of Dandelion.
The closest natural coffee substitute appears to be chicory, which I haven't made myself, but bought it and enjoyed it. I made a couple of batches of acorn coffee - with the first lot I boiled it with 5-6 changes of water, dried, ground then roasted it to a similar colour to your dandelion here. This was really good, has a nice toasty nutty flavour and I would say the closest comparison I can think of is the roasted mate tea I have. My second batch I went back to the more common method of soaking acorns for days in changes of water. Despite taking my time with it I think I still didn't quite get out all the tannins, it still has that slight edge to it, and leaves a slight film in your mouth, but with a bit of milk and brown sugar (which I would not normally have with coffee) it's still drinkable. This autumn I am determined to give dandelion coffee a go, I'll be sure to go to some meadows where I know they grow in abundance. Also if you're talking about dandelion tea, I believe the flowers are the best for the medicinal value (flowers best for nutrients), so they might make a more effective herbal tea than the root does.
Searching for information on collecting dandelion root, roasting for what we've been calling 'tea'. A lighter sun tea version of the 'coffee' and bot really lucky to find Far North! Really enjoyed the video greatly and you answered every question I had. PS for anyone struggling with diabetes, this dandy-root is an amazing daily life choice. Please take time to do a search about dandelion roots and diabetes.
I wasn't aware of using the root for a type of coffee/tea. I prepared a small batch tonight & will brew it first thing in the morning. Thank you for sharing this video
I have done this many times, tho only a couple roots at a time. Well done. The root tastes like dandilion root haha. I find that if i dry them to the point that i roast them, not burnt but dark, it taste better. It is always good to watch a video and see i have been doing it the same way. lol Thanks for the video buddy. When i first did this i read it in an old wild edible book. They said it was a great coffee substitute and taste as good as some places sell for coffee lol.
+Kullcraven Bushcraft Good hearing from you my friend. When done a couple roots at a time like you have done, a person can easily do this while camping. In fact I have seen several videos where people do this while camping but they fail to mention that if a person is truly in a wilderness setting they most likely will not find any dandelions around since they grow in disturbed soils such as roadside ditches, beside sidewalks, in lawns etc. I also agree that it tastes just like.........well, dandelion root lol. I prefer the taste of dandelion root coffee over standard coffee especially when they are drank "black"
This is something I've read about and put into my knowledge bank many times before but to actually see it done is icing on the cake. Always look forward to, learn and enjoy your vids. Thank you sir from the great state of GA.
If you will take a wash rag and soak it in water then wring it out to where it's just damp then place it under your cutting board, the cutting board will stay still while you cut your roots/veggies.
finally love someone actually putting a time frame for their videos on survival! so irritating when others dont say which time of year to do any harvesting >
after you took the first sip, i thought you were going to say, i don't know what it tastes like, like you did with the fresh root 😀 funny when you said that!
One of my favourite soft drinks is dandelion and burdock so I'm guessing this is how the dandelion part of it is prepared. I might have a go at making my own!
Thanks Lonnie for the reply. Living in Kansas and farming full time doesn't give me a lot of time to spend in the woods. Always spent time fishing and trapping when I was young sure which I could make time now but chasing that almighty dollar. You and your wife have a great new year and a Merry Christmas.
Great video. Thank you for making it! I have never dug up such a load of roots. You have more patience than I do I guess! :) On a side note, what kind of hat are you wearing? I think my Dad would love one just like it as a gift. Thank you again for the great video!
You may have a hard time finding any of these hats since I believe that they are no longer made by the company. However, the "River Guide" hat made by the same company is very similar.
I tried this process years ago but mine didn't turn out as nice as yours. I did mine all in the woods and it is hard to process it without the means. Great video as always Lonnie! Always enjoyable to watch your work my friend!
You can eat the roots raw... what does it taste like? I don't know, you eat one and figure it out... I about died Lonnie, thanks lol I love all of your videos!
I positively 💚 the essence of your video, it's your uniquely magestic approach to gathering produce from the land and putting it to good use, I just feel like going out to my garden and making some dandy coffee...👍😆🌱
Love your mellow focused energy. When you didn't say how the coffee tasted to you, let each person try for themselves, it made me smile. I always get my kindergartners to try new foods, and I highlight how each food feeds their body systems, that maybe their brain isn't sure, but their bones, etc are so happy to be fed. I also tell them it might take 40 or 50 tastes before their brain says they like it. This is my second time roasting and making dandelion coffee. Didn't burn it this time! Added a tiny drizzle of organic whipping cream and a shake of ground cardamom on top. Coffee, whether it's caffeinated or not, is the worst on my digestive tract. This works!
Thank you so much. I always enjoy watching your videos. You keep it simple without yelling at the camera. There's some settled wisdom in your way of making videos. So i know what my friends are getting for their Birthdays this year :) Greetings from Berlin - Germany
Yes, beards come from dandelions. My wife plays with herbs in the garden and I like wood working. She's been drinking dandelion coffee longer than I have and her beard is twice as long as mine.
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival thank you for your videos been surviving along time now. So many practical things that ppl just don't know about or just don't want to put the effort into. Meanwhile look at the situation we are in right now ppl lined up at the store looking for TP and whatever else they can find. My goal is to stay away from the store for as long as possible.
+Primal Outdoors Go for it Jason. I hope you do get a chance to try it out. The worst that could happen is you could decide you don't like it but on the other hand it might end up being a new favorite.
Andy Billos, Me too, But I'm going to have a can of Coke, I wonder if there's any cafeen in that dandelion Coffey, If there is not, I don't see the point of it. May be spike it with dark rum, That would give it a jump. Over.
Dandilions has a bunch of health benefits. Cleans the liver, diuretic, has potassium, magnesium, etc. Can't remember any more but it costs $28.99 a pound in the health food store.
Lonnie, what does the root taste like? Just kidding, it probably taste like chicken. Great video and the "coffee" looks delicious. thank you for sharing your videos. You are so natural.
I had never even heard of dandelion coffee before this video. Now I need to try it! Does it give you a kick start like coffee? Or is it just something to make you feel better about having to wake up before the sun?
well. if it ain't got caffeen I don't want it lol. jokes aside, I think I'll do my homework just to see all if any benfets it might have. I would prefer a good coffee substitute lol. I can grow coffee in the lower 48,and if things go real bad, gonna need a substitute. got a have some luxuries in life, even after the grid falls. but nice video.
on that note, it occurred to me after I said this, there was rumer down south where I grew up you could make a caffinated tea with Holly. maybe a video on this would be most helpfull
Richard Peterson Camellia leaves are very high in caffeine. I mean the plant that grown as an ornamental for the flowers, but note that it is related to the tea plant. The ornamental is less flavorful, but has more caffeine, from what I found in my research. It can give you a headache, but I imagine that using just a few leaves mixed in with the dandelion root would give it the caffeine kick you want. For making tea from the regular tea varieties of Camellia they pick young budding leaves. The way they are handled makes the tea green, black, oolong style. The process and timing of bruising and air drying changes the flavor. I found all this info by researching camellia and tea.
I first learned of this on Taro Swiss Bushcraft. I enjoyed it. I liked your approach too, yours came out nice and dark looking. I just made some, I enjoy the taste too.
thank you for showing me this. I saw the little green colander we had one just like it when growing up. funny how little things like that can bring back good memories. atb stay safe and warm this winter. Mark in Texas
They are not only extremely useful for us but the bees please now you know the importance make sure to blow the seeds to grow... All the killing with roundup is making bees suffer...
If you're in the city be careful not to eat the glyphosated roots. I'm of the belief that a lot of the symptoms people think are from celiac disease/gluten are actually from glyphosate-desiccated grain. A don't-ask-don't-tell practice common in America.
Wolfin exactly, my mom was diagnosed with celiac seven years ago so I know a lot about it and I’ve been thinking that same thing for years. Also someone who went to my school was allergic to peanuts and he said that his doctor told him that it’s not caused by peanuts but it’s caused by the pesticides and what not they use while growing the peanuts.
I remember as a child reading that roasted dandelion root could be used as a coffee substitute. I've wanted to try this. Thank you for making this video! Interestingly enough, because I don't trust to consume most anything dug up from the ground in the area I live in, I did a search for dandelion root on a popular shopping website and found that I not only can order the root, but I can order it already roasted... Might go ahead and get both so I can enjoy the coffee and try eating the raw root...
One of the best videos on using wild foods I've seen. Straight out shows the reality of it start to finish. Too much snow today, but soon enough I'll be out there to give it a try.
6:52 *Ulu* all purpose Knife called "Uluit" traditional tool..aka An Inuit womans knife. The Northern Alaskan native people, invented this Cutting tool .
+Kanzee As I said in the video the ulu is a traditional knife design here in the north. The word uluit is a word used by the Eastern Canadian inuit people referring to the plural form of ulu. Many northern native people used this knife design through history and each people group have their own name for it.
Lonnie just got done watching your video on dandelion root coffee excellent instructional video it seems to be a little process but I guess all good things takes a little effort thank you for sharing
Wow survival lilly in the comments. I fallow both of you. There is peace that comes from connecting with the land. This coffee will get added to my list. I did my first primative camping and foraging and it is so fun. Thanks for showing all the techniques you both use.
I once had an old timer tell me when he was young his grandmother made a brew that tasted like coffee from corn. All he said was she put it in the oven and burned it. Then ground it up and made the brew as you would coffee. I've never tried this but also never forgot it. I'm sure I will try it someday. Nice video. Thanks.
Far North Bushcraft And Survival : Guess I'll have to drink it for the taste then. I tried some for the first time today. I went to Walmart and bought a box of non-gmo,organic roasted Dandelion root from Poland. Brewed a cup and was pleasantly surprised. It looks like coffee,but kinda tastes a little like popcorn to me.
We don't have tons of dandelions around our cabin, but there are a few along the side of the trail, so this fall we may try harvesting the roots of some. Thanks for sharing.
Another thing to try and use. Great way to prepare a suitable camp drink for pennies on the dollar and especially nice as its something you made from scratch and that just adds a bit more to the experience.
Holy cow! Amazing! Just saw this video last week. Wife and I dug up a few roots over the weekend to give it a try. Just finished brewing a cup. It is VERY tasty, even without anything added. 😃☺😃 Put a two or three pinches of coconut sugar in it, though, and it really smooths out the flavor. Best way we can describe the flavor is something like a slightly burnt butterscotch. Fantastic!
I'm just in the first few minutes and I want to say that I like how you clean the roots. I used to take them home and put them in a big bucket to soak overnight, but sometimes I wasn't able to rinse them off the next morning, I had to go to work or something. Sooo I ended up leaving it several days and I ruined itand wasted it. Your way is fast and effective. I'm going to do it this year. It makes me feel good knowing how to do this.
I just ruined a batch of roots, too, because every time I'd go to clean them my two year old would get into something she wasn't supposed to, or need a diaper change, and then I'd just keep getting distracted. Hated dumping them in the trash, but they were soaking in water for four days before I remembered them!! They were pretty slimy and I didn't want to chance it.
Excellent timing for your video, as I was just planning on digging up some roots tomorrow! I've never done it before so I'm glad I watched your video! Take care, Chris mllj
+Far North Bushcraft And Survival I have made some of my own! And quite impressed with the taste! It's on my beer video I made yesterday! A little work yes, but worth it!
you are probably the coolest dude i know. your videos are fantastic, this one is great because i have a hard time with different species of trees and identifying them, plants and leaves are difficult to study if you are not exposed to them all the time like us city folk. but everyone knows dandelions. i cant wait to try this.
+Jon Cothran You are welcome and thank you. That sounds like a great plan. What happens next year though if you decide you want some more dandelion root coffee. lol I guess there is probably always the neighbors yard. :o) Just be sure and not pick it where there has been herbicides or other chemicals used.
I don't use any of that on my yard and it shows. LOL!!! Glad to know that I can use the greens in a salad. Wish that I had read that before I had Dinner. (Had salad for dinner)
I have to admit that coffee looks better then the coffee you can buy in the stores and it looks much richer as well. can not wait to try this recipe. thank you for the video
This man has the most peaceful "vibration" and I'm on board.

For a second as you were pouring out the dirt water, I somehow had the thought, "My god, I hope that's not supposed to be the coffee."
I kinda thought he was just going to store them in there, wet and sealed

I have been weeding this plant out my garden for as long as i can remember and never knew how versatile it actually is? Man you can eat the whole plant! I never knew this! I will never kill another Dandelion ever! I love your videos man😊
Never use chemicals on your garden either or you will be eating the toxins and die anyway~
you can learn a lot when others have no idea how to survive. those not know survivable will be sick and perish those know to survive will make it
You still have to kill them to eat the roots
It kills cancer.
Eat the Weeds is on UA-cam. You'd be amazed what's growing in your back yard.

It would be nice to be able to make my own to carry hunting and fishing with me. I carry my haversack with me most places I go. It amazed my fishing buddy last winter when I pulled out my little folding stove, started a fire, and asked him if he wanted some coffee. It was very cold on the water.

It is good to have a hunting and fishing partner and someone to share the knowledge that was passed down to me. I like to be comfortable in the woods. I used to just tough it out with the weather and its miseries. But at my age I have learned it is better to be happy and comfortable than cold and miserable. Keep up the videos and good works. Wish all the best to you and yours
+dalton vickers I like and follow the same phylosophy of being comfortable when in the woods. The "roughing it" way is for folks who don't know any better. :o)
Awesome because I know I can identify dandelions
Uses sun flower
On the Rims sunflower aren’t as common
@@mxrcla596 Maybe they live in Ukraine.
I would die without my coffee. We never know what will be missing from the shelves next. I love dandelion tea and can't wait to try some coffee.
I am dandelion rich so I'm going to try this. Thanks for the video Lonnie! This has to be a very healthy drink!
Thanks I appreciate you being clear about the baking temps and time frames. I have been dry curing some chicory and dandelion root at room temp for the last week and needed a better guide on the toasting. I just made a chicory/dandelion Brew that came out nice and dark and tastes quite similar to coffee and could very easily take it's place on the range or around the campfire 🔥 ♠️
In ver very old times in my east european country chicory was traditionally a must with coffee, it's sad now nobody even remembers it was used.
@@ebrelus7687 I tried "Dandy Blend" coffee alternative - it's bitter, strong &delicious! It's a blend of dandelion root, chicory root, sugar beetroot, barley & rye, so I'm going to make my own bc it's expensive. 55 yrs young :) I have been learning a lot this yr regarding edible weeds, fermenting, making tinctures, nurishing herbal infusions. Time to get back to nature!
I found your PVC flute, then it had a link for this and wow and I grateful. I've been wanting to learn how to make dandelion tea for a long time, you've got it from start to finish and I am grateful. Now, since the roots are dug in the fall, I will have to wait a while, but at least I know how, when, and can save ourselves a lot of money doing it all ourselves. I do NOT get rid of dandelions in our lawn/yard. Thank you! Blessings!
Haha, jar says Mayo! Lid says Corn! But it's dandelion roots. Well done sir. That gave me a good laugh.
I absolutely love your videos. I always end up on them too, I was looking at tent videos and somehow came back to you. I wish my dad was in better health to pass down his knowledge, but Im glad there's folks like you that give clear direct instructions and something about your mannerisms and way you go about it that I prefer over others. Thank you!
As a child I can remember my aunt making dandelion coffee. It tasted good. I also made some. My aunt used to also make Dandelion wine. I believe the coffee can be a diuretic just like proper coffee.
Many thanks for bringing back happy memories.
Sandy
+Wiltshire Man Glad I was the vehicle to bring back good memories. Yes I have read that that dandelion can have a diuretic effect but personal experience tells me it is much more subtle than regular coffee if even any at all.
+USChanin If you find out more about that, I would love to learn about it if you don't mind passing on the info.
Wiltshire Man One year my mom decided she would make dandilion wine. She bought all sorts of limes and lemons and oranges. Then we went to a big grass field and picked dandelion fuzz. Gallons ot it! She had a huge crock and filled it almost to the top and she covered with cheese cloth and a huge plate she got comewhere. She skimmed it daily and in a few months, began to bottle it in glass vinegar jars. It was almost clear and she would lift the lids to let the air escape. Then the time came to drink it and it was about 200 proof! The best tasting stuff ever. Was like champagne! Yummy
+USChanin
In spring, young dandelion leaves can make a good salad. Later on, cook it like spinach.
Fermented dandelion leaves would be similar to kraut.
I have added dandelion green, lambs quarters and alfalfa to my kraut before.
If you wanted to do a dandelion leaf ferment, collect a lot of leaves cut them, Salt them then mash them until the liquid covers the solid parts of the leaves...
Keep the leaves submerged with a plate or rock
Should take a similar amount of time as kraut.
Lonnie, I don't know if you read many of your comments but I just wanted to say that the mellow nature of your speech mannerisms helps me greatly with my anxiety and panic attacks, when I feel an episode coming on , I just pop on to your channel and listen.
also your quality of a teacher is unparalleled and has improved my skill as a woodsman immensely.
I hope you and your wife as well as your k9 have a good and safe winter.
i wish you a pleasant journey through this life .....and God bless
Thank you for those kind words. I read each and every comment. Always have and will continue to always try keep that up as long as the channel is small enough to enable me to do so. Glad to see the multi-use you are getting out of the videos
(puts dandelion roots into a mayonaise container marked corn)
Seems legit. :D
Adrea Brooks ...waste not! 😉
😄 I noticed that, too.
@@unknownguy3229 calm your tits, the poster merely pointed out a slightly funny tidbit from the video, and made an innocent joke about it.
🤣😂🤣
@@unknownguy3229 It was a joke! And it was funny! Dont be so serious, you may start to see that not everything people say is meant literally!
Far North Bushcraft And Survival. Lonnie you are very very wise in the woods and Bush. I only started watching your videos today and I can't seem to stop watching them. I'm subscribing to your channel. I can definitely learn alot from watching you. thank you for putting up videos.
I use an iron frying pan. I have a HUGE iron pan. After the chopped root is dry I roast it in a smaller iron pan using my rocket stove. No oven. I use 50/50 Dandelion and Chicory root. Lots of wild Chicory around here plus tons of Dandelion.
David Bennett: How does the flavour compare and roasted in cast-iron as opposed to oven roasted?
very good program thanks for the tips .... God bless you!
The closest natural coffee substitute appears to be chicory, which I haven't made myself, but bought it and enjoyed it. I made a couple of batches of acorn coffee - with the first lot I boiled it with 5-6 changes of water, dried, ground then roasted it to a similar colour to your dandelion here. This was really good, has a nice toasty nutty flavour and I would say the closest comparison I can think of is the roasted mate tea I have. My second batch I went back to the more common method of soaking acorns for days in changes of water. Despite taking my time with it I think I still didn't quite get out all the tannins, it still has that slight edge to it, and leaves a slight film in your mouth, but with a bit of milk and brown sugar (which I would not normally have with coffee) it's still drinkable. This autumn I am determined to give dandelion coffee a go, I'll be sure to go to some meadows where I know they grow in abundance. Also if you're talking about dandelion tea, I believe the flowers are the best for the medicinal value (flowers best for nutrients), so they might make a more effective herbal tea than the root does.
That's a great thing to share. Thanks for having us over .
+christian bernoe Glad you stopped by for a spell. Also glad you enjoyed it.
this is such a relaxing video to watch in the morning, its like gentle sunshine. thanks i subscribed.
Thank you so much!! I'm using the roots of Queen Anne's Lace at this writing.
Searching for information on collecting dandelion root, roasting for what we've been calling 'tea'. A lighter sun tea version of the 'coffee' and bot really lucky to find Far North! Really enjoyed the video greatly and you answered every question I had.
PS for anyone struggling with diabetes, this dandy-root is an amazing daily life choice. Please take time to do a search about dandelion roots and diabetes.
I wasn't aware of using the root for a type of coffee/tea. I prepared a small batch tonight & will brew it first thing in the morning.
Thank you for sharing this video
I have done this many times, tho only a couple roots at a time. Well done. The root tastes like dandilion root haha. I find that if i dry them to the point that i roast them, not burnt but dark, it taste better. It is always good to watch a video and see i have been doing it the same way. lol Thanks for the video buddy. When i first did this i read it in an old wild edible book. They said it was a great coffee substitute and taste as good as some places sell for coffee lol.
+Kullcraven Bushcraft Good hearing from you my friend. When done a couple roots at a time like you have done, a person can easily do this while camping. In fact I have seen several videos where people do this while camping but they fail to mention that if a person is truly in a wilderness setting they most likely will not find any dandelions around since they grow in disturbed soils such as roadside ditches, beside sidewalks, in lawns etc. I also agree that it tastes just like.........well, dandelion root lol. I prefer the taste of dandelion root coffee over standard coffee especially when they are drank "black"
This is something I've read about and put into my knowledge bank many times before but to actually see it done is icing on the cake. Always look forward to, learn and enjoy your vids. Thank you sir from the great state of GA.
+Kraven Moorehead You are welcome. Hope you get a chance to try it out sometime.
If you will take a wash rag and soak it in water then wring it out to where it's just damp then place it under your cutting board, the cutting board will stay still while you cut your roots/veggies.
You are an angel. Thank you!
finally love someone actually putting a time frame for their videos on survival! so irritating when others dont say which time of year to do any harvesting >
I love how you put your video together, well explained and pleasant just like your cup of Joe. Thanks going to be doing this in the fall!
I truly appreciate your authenticity. Thank you so much!
after you took the first sip, i thought you were going to say, i don't know what it tastes like, like you did with the fresh root 😀 funny when you said that!
This is awesome. Thank you for showing from start to finish!
+Roberts Bushcraft Outdoor Adventures You are welcome and Thank you. I hope you get a chance to try it out.
One of my favourite soft drinks is dandelion and burdock so I'm guessing this is how the dandelion part of it is prepared.
I might have a go at making my own!
Thanks Lonnie for the reply. Living in Kansas and farming full time doesn't give me a lot of time to spend in the woods. Always spent time fishing and trapping when I was young sure which I could make time now but chasing that almighty dollar. You and your wife have a great new year and a Merry Christmas.
Great video. Thank you for making it! I have never dug up such a load of roots. You have more patience than I do I guess! :) On a side note, what kind of hat are you wearing? I think my Dad would love one just like it as a gift. Thank you again for the great video!
Thanks for watching. My hat is the "Flinders Reef" model by "Outback Traders"
Thanks for the reply! It is handsome and I think I will order one. You have a great channel!
You may have a hard time finding any of these hats since I believe that they are no longer made by the company. However, the "River Guide" hat made by the same company is very similar.
I think you are right, but super similar. Thank you again!
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival thank you. A good hat is hard to find.
I tried this process years ago but mine didn't turn out as nice as yours. I did mine all in the woods and it is hard to process it without the means. Great video as always Lonnie! Always enjoyable to watch your work my friend!
You can eat the roots raw... what does it taste like? I don't know, you eat one and figure it out...
I about died Lonnie, thanks lol
I love all of your videos!
It probably tastes like Dandelion Root?
tastes like bitter almond with a hint of sweet.
Has a slight bitter taste
I positively 💚 the essence of your video, it's your uniquely magestic approach to gathering produce from the land and putting it to good use, I just feel like going out to my garden and making some dandy coffee...👍😆🌱
Love your mellow focused energy. When you didn't say how the coffee tasted to you, let each person try for themselves, it made me smile. I always get my kindergartners to try new foods, and I highlight how each food feeds their body systems, that maybe their brain isn't sure, but their bones, etc are so happy to be fed. I also tell them it might take 40 or 50 tastes before their brain says they like it. This is my second time roasting and making dandelion coffee. Didn't burn it this time! Added a tiny drizzle of organic whipping cream and a shake of ground cardamom on top. Coffee, whether it's caffeinated or not, is the worst on my digestive tract. This works!
Thank you so much. I always enjoy watching your videos. You keep it simple without yelling at the camera. There's some settled wisdom in your way of making videos. So i know what my friends are getting for their Birthdays this year :) Greetings from Berlin - Germany
If drinking it will make me grow a beard of awesomeness like that then I am down.
Yes, beards come from dandelions. My wife plays with herbs in the garden and I like wood working. She's been drinking dandelion coffee longer than I have and her beard is twice as long as mine.
it tastes like dandelion root of course
+D ee Well now that you mention it.......I believe you are right. lol
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival thank you for your videos been surviving along time now. So many practical things that ppl just don't know about or just don't want to put the effort into. Meanwhile look at the situation we are in right now ppl lined up at the store looking for TP and whatever else they can find. My goal is to stay away from the store for as long as possible.
So, it doesn’t taste like chicken then?
That came out looking pretty good I may have to give that a try.
Jason
+Primal Outdoors Go for it Jason. I hope you do get a chance to try it out. The worst that could happen is you could decide you don't like it but on the other hand it might end up being a new favorite.
You got me thirsty.....I think I'm gonna get me a cup of tea....and look for dandelions. thanks,
Andy Billos, Me too, But I'm going to have a can of Coke, I wonder if there's any cafeen in that dandelion Coffey, If there is not, I don't see the point of it. May be spike it with dark rum, That would give it a jump. Over.
@@jackduffy1817 Dandelion and burdock is common drink in England its in a can like Coke
Dandilions has a bunch of health benefits. Cleans the liver, diuretic, has potassium, magnesium, etc. Can't remember any more but it costs $28.99 a pound in the health food store.
FYI. You can also make tea with dandelion
i used to make this nearly 40 yeas ago great to see again. i had forgotten how good it was.
Lonnie, what does the root taste like? Just kidding, it probably taste like chicken. Great video and the "coffee" looks delicious. thank you for sharing your videos. You are so natural.
Lol!
teryaki chicken!?
Oscar Rodriguez l
I said it to him during the video! haha! Half expected him to say well, no.. no.. it doesn't taste like chicken.
nononononononoonononono wong
You are a very wise man sir. You are teaching me so much. Thank you for taking the time to explain in detail.
God Bless.
I had never even heard of dandelion coffee before this video. Now I need to try it! Does it give you a kick start like coffee? Or is it just something to make you feel better about having to wake up before the sun?
There is no caffeine in dandelion "coffee". It is called "coffee" due to the way it is made rather than the taste.
well. if it ain't got caffeen I don't want it lol. jokes aside, I think I'll do my homework just to see all if any benfets it might have. I would prefer a good coffee substitute lol. I can grow coffee in the lower 48,and if things go real bad, gonna need a substitute. got a have some luxuries in life, even after the grid falls. but nice video.
on that note, it occurred to me after I said this, there was rumer down south where I grew up you could make a caffinated tea with Holly. maybe a video on this would be most helpfull
Richard Peterson
Camellia leaves are very high in caffeine. I mean the plant that grown as an ornamental for the flowers, but note that it is related to the tea plant. The ornamental is less flavorful, but has more caffeine, from what I found in my research. It can give you a headache, but I imagine that using just a few leaves mixed in with the dandelion root would give it the caffeine kick you want.
For making tea from the regular tea varieties of Camellia they pick young budding leaves. The way they are handled makes the tea green, black, oolong style. The process and timing of bruising and air drying changes the flavor. I found all this info by researching camellia and tea.
It has many health benefits & vitamins even to have once a day. Many coffees have pesticides unless you buy organic.
great tutorial!!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!!
I was expecting his taste test of the coffee to be "i dont know how to describe it, you gotta try it for yourself."
I first learned of this on Taro Swiss Bushcraft. I enjoyed it. I liked your approach too, yours came out nice and dark looking. I just made some, I enjoy the taste too.
thank you sir! great video! i imagine you could use this process for other roots as well?
Chicory could probably be done the same way
@@Far-North-Bushcraft-Survival could you use cats ear roots instead of dandelion roots?
I am not familiar with "cats ear" since we do not have that here.
thank you for showing me this. I saw the little green colander we had one just like it when growing up. funny how little things like that can bring back good memories. atb stay safe and warm this winter. Mark in Texas
+Mark Martin Thank you Texas Mark. You have a great winter as well.
They are not only extremely useful for us but the bees please now you know the importance make sure to blow the seeds to grow...
All the killing with roundup is making bees suffer...
Exactly
If you're in the city be careful not to eat the glyphosated roots. I'm of the belief that a lot of the symptoms people think are from celiac disease/gluten are actually from glyphosate-desiccated grain. A don't-ask-don't-tell practice common in America.
Wolfin exactly, my mom was diagnosed with celiac seven years ago so I know a lot about it and I’ve been thinking that same thing for years. Also someone who went to my school was allergic to peanuts and he said that his doctor told him that it’s not caused by peanuts but it’s caused by the pesticides and what not they use while growing the peanuts.
I remember as a child reading that roasted dandelion root could be used as a coffee substitute. I've wanted to try this. Thank you for making this video! Interestingly enough, because I don't trust to consume most anything dug up from the ground in the area I live in, I did a search for dandelion root on a popular shopping website and found that I not only can order the root, but I can order it already roasted... Might go ahead and get both so I can enjoy the coffee and try eating the raw root...
In Norway we call them Løvetann=Liontooth.
the portugueses name is an direct translation to it: dente-de-leão
Yeah even in french “dents de lion”
....Or arabic .
there are no lions in norway lmao
I did not expect that dark color. I may have to try this. Thanks for sharing with us.
I always thought dandelion root tasted similar to carrot, except much more bitter.
One of the best videos on using wild foods I've seen. Straight out shows the reality of it start to finish.
Too much snow today, but soon enough I'll be out there to give it a try.
If I were a dandelion I think I keep a low profile after watching this video!
Thank you for showing us how to do this and what it should look like when roasted.
6:52 *Ulu* all purpose Knife called "Uluit" traditional tool..aka An Inuit womans knife.
The Northern Alaskan native people, invented this Cutting tool .
***** hehehe...no ;-( steel wasn't invented by natives. But many bone and Rock tools were shaped into the form of the ULU blade..lol ;-)
The earliest versions of the ulu were made from antler for the handle and had a stone/slate blade.
+Kanzee Aho ! I agree ..... give credit where credit is due ! The pioneers and settlers have taken credit for what are native people showed them.
+Kanzee As I said in the video the ulu is a traditional knife design here in the north. The word uluit is a word used by the Eastern Canadian inuit people referring to the plural form of ulu. Many northern native people used this knife design through history and each people group have their own name for it.
None the Less, it is a Great Tool !!
Lonnie just got done watching your video on dandelion root coffee excellent instructional video it seems to be a little process but I guess all good things takes a little effort thank you for sharing
Mayonnaise jug full of dandelion roots labeled 'corn' . Classy guy
Recycling at it's best! :)
I tried making this and I was plesantly surprised. Not quite as bitter as coffee. Thanks for the video
I heard it good for ya to.
Wow survival lilly in the comments. I fallow both of you. There is peace that comes from connecting with the land. This coffee will get added to my list. I did my first primative camping and foraging and it is so fun. Thanks for showing all the techniques you both use.
Maybe you could do a video on how to clean a sink drain...should the opportunity arise.
Wash them in a pail in the back yard. Works much better than calling a plumber. LOL
Impressive! Thanks for the video. A lot of dandelion and chicory around my place for root collecting.
Said to be a powerful cure for cancer.
I once had an old timer tell me when he was young his grandmother made a brew that tasted like coffee from corn. All he said was she put it in the oven and burned it. Then ground it up and made the brew as you would coffee. I've never tried this but also never forgot it. I'm sure I will try it someday. Nice video. Thanks.
+scottydog636 A coffee made from corn sounds very interesting for sure. That would be interesting to try some. I'll bet that it would be good.
Yeah,but does it have any caffeine?
No
Far North Bushcraft And Survival : Guess I'll have to drink it for the taste then.
I tried some for the first time today.
I went to Walmart and bought a box of non-gmo,organic roasted Dandelion root from Poland.
Brewed a cup and was pleasantly surprised.
It looks like coffee,but kinda tastes a little like popcorn to me.
My first thought lol!
Amen! Got to get my Caffeine :)
That's the whole idea it's a caffeine free coffee. So you can drink later in day
I watch your video every spring when the dandelions are up to make the coffee!
You can buy bulk cut dandelion on ebay...
We don't have tons of dandelions around our cabin, but there are a few along the side of the trail, so this fall we may try harvesting the roots of some. Thanks for sharing.
did you know that dandelion roots got great anti cancer properties?
No but now I do thanks
Another thing to try and use. Great way to prepare a suitable camp drink for pennies on the dollar and especially nice as its something you made from scratch and that just adds a bit more to the experience.
Thanks Lonnie, for sharing the details on how to do this. I will give it a try sometime.
+Mike James I hope you do get the chance to try it out.
Holy cow! Amazing! Just saw this video last week. Wife and I dug up a few roots over the weekend to give it a try. Just finished brewing a cup. It is VERY tasty, even without anything added. 😃☺😃 Put a two or three pinches of coconut sugar in it, though, and it really smooths out the flavor. Best way we can describe the flavor is something like a slightly burnt butterscotch. Fantastic!
I'm just in the first few minutes and I want to say that I like how you clean the roots.
I used to take them home and put them in a big bucket to soak overnight, but sometimes I wasn't able to rinse them off the next morning, I had to go to work or something. Sooo I ended up leaving it several days and I ruined itand wasted it.
Your way is fast and effective. I'm going to do it this year.
It makes me feel good knowing how to do this.
I just ruined a batch of roots, too, because every time I'd go to clean them my two year old would get into something she wasn't supposed to, or need a diaper change, and then I'd just keep getting distracted. Hated dumping them in the trash, but they were soaking in water for four days before I remembered them!! They were pretty slimy and I didn't want to chance it.
Hey Lonnie, another great video. Well put together and easy to follow. Look forward to more
+Bill B. You are welcome Bill Thank you for the kind words.
You're Videos Are Bringing Me Back To My Roots!
Great Video !
Very nice my friend! Also my favorite wilderness coffee. Take care Lonnie!
+Waldhandwerk I will definitely be carrying some of this with me when out on trips. Thank you.
Really good information. I guess this method can be used on other plants and roots as well. Thanks for sharing

+NorwegianWoods Thank you. You are welcome Martin
Excellent timing for your video, as I was just planning on digging up some roots tomorrow! I've never done it before so I'm glad I watched your video!
Take care,

mllj
+Chris Collier Awesome. Good luck on your harvesting and processing. I think you will enjoy the end results of your labors.
+Far North Bushcraft And Survival I have made some of my own! And quite impressed with the taste! It's on my beer video I made yesterday! A little work yes, but worth it!
I made some yesterday. Surprisingly, it really wakes you up and has very pleasant taste.
you are probably the coolest dude i know. your videos are fantastic, this one is great because i have a hard time with different species of trees and identifying them, plants and leaves are difficult to study if you are not exposed to them all the time like us city folk. but everyone knows dandelions. i cant wait to try this.
Thanks Lonnie! I have a pretty good dandelion patch in my yard. Now I can use them for coffee and clean up the yard at the same time. Great video Sir!
+Jon Cothran You are welcome and thank you. That sounds like a great plan. What happens next year though if you decide you want some more dandelion root coffee. lol I guess there is probably always the neighbors yard. :o) Just be sure and not pick it where there has been herbicides or other chemicals used.
I don't use any of that on my yard and it shows. LOL!!! Glad to know that I can use the greens in a salad. Wish that I had read that before I had Dinner. (Had salad for dinner)
I live in Newfoundland, lots of dandelions here. Love dandelion leaves now I'm gonna try dandelion coffee.
Thanks for another great video Lonnie!
+Woodsmoke Woodcraft School You are welcome.
More great information! Thank you for taking the time to share.
+gus1911 Thank you and you are welcome. I enjoy sharing the info in this way.
Everything about this video made it enjoyable to watch. Calm demeanor, lovely setting, harvesting something from the wild. Never saw this made before.
I have to admit that coffee looks better then the coffee you can buy in the stores and it looks much richer as well. can not wait to try this recipe. thank you for the video
This is like a visit to a blokes campsite in the 1800s
Great video mate , I appreciate the knowledge
