Great video👍Only thing I do different is to let the washed and chopped roots air dry before I roast them. Also chop mine finer-more like minced! Eventually I fill a jar with dried roots and roast the whole batch in a dry cast iron skillet. Keeping all the pieces fairly uniform in size results in a more even roast than having some totally black. I like a little char but mostly dark brown. Only need 2 Tbls of root for 16 ounces water, which simmer about 15 minutes to reach my desired flavor. Strain, sweeten with honey and whip in blender with 1 T melted butter- Yep! Butter makes a frothy top that I sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg....delicious!!! One more thing- I find my cleaning process quite lengthy in comparison to yours, as my dense clay soil tends to stick into the crevices of the outer root layer and I don’t want to bite into any dirt! Other than that~thanks for showing folks an nutritious beverage, free and easy to make from the plethora of dandelions that grow everywhere!!! Just to be clear though, my morning wake up drink will always be real COFFEE!!!😂☕️👍🤠
@@annuitcptis3032 Agreed, dirt in general worries me not in the least...I, however, have a heavy clay soil that biting into a grain feels akin to chewing on a rock and I won’t risk my teeth for that when I can simply wash the roots thoroughly. Enjoy you dirt tea!😋
@@nsm9kx966 it’s tastes dark from the roasting and naturally bitter, hence the comparison to coffee, but actually no, I wouldn’t say they taste the same. Two different pleasures 😊
Thank you for your dandelion recipes. After it rains my dandelions stand 18”-24” tall. I keep whacking them and decided to find out if I could use them after all my hard work. Thanks to you I will take a new approach and harvest the whole plant. I look forward to enjoying dandelion coffee, jam & pesto on my salad. 😂☕️🥗🍯
@@theronika7967 , I would wait till late Sept . unless you are in a colder climate . That way as much of the plant's energy goes into the root as possible .HAPPY DIGGING !
Thanks for showing us how to make coffee from Dandelion roots. I really enjoy your teaching and videos in UA-cam. Hope to meet you one day. I am a survivalist enthusiast. One area I am weak in is identifying wild edible plants. But, I am learning a lot from your videos.
In Mississippi I use them like this: Flowers for syrup. Leaves for salves and roots for coffee or teas. It uses the entire plant. There's tons of ways to use it but, that's how I do it. Also, leave a few plants for next year.
How do u prevent the dandelion root from shrinking down to nothing once it dries out. I left it to air dry on counter.. just a couple and they got soo thin
@@edss7778 I wouldn't fret about how skinny they get, because remember, it's a plant and plants usually store mostly water and the longer you leave the roots to dry, the skinnier it's going to get as as it loses its moisture through evaporation until all moisture is gone as it reaches maximum shrinkage. Besides, I'm sure that when you slowly simmer them in water or whatever other liquid or sauce, the roots will swell up again and retain all the health benefits stored within the entire plant. I would still make sure to cover them ( along with any other food or beverage when you think about it ), so that no bugs or critters crawl over them. 👍
awesome video! the only thing I would do different is use only the dandelion flowers (the thin yellow pedals) and remove the bitter green before soaking in honey and I could never use a teflon non-stick pan - THANK you for taking the time and effort to make this video
Love your teaching style. This kind of information is so needed in our communities these days. Thank you for the awesome resource. Also, doesn't a Ponderosa Pine have needles in bundles of 3?
YES! IT IS! SO DESPERATELY NEEDED!! WE NEED TO STOP BEING SO DEPENDENT ON COMPANIES PROCESSED FOOD! AND STOP GIVING THE GROCERY STORES SO MUCH POWER OVER US!!
@@deanframe9095 This used to be common knowledge that they taught us as children, in boy / girl scouts, etc etc. Just basic survival. Now everyone is lazy and impatient, and selfish. They don't want to work for it,they want it NOW and won't share with anyone else when they do get it :(
As another reviewer said, I find it better to simmer grounds in small pan for 20 mins. Add water to used grounds for another cuppa after re-simmering - waste not want not.
I bought your book and only just now discovered your youtube channel, and didn’t know you wrote the book cuz your beard threw me off! Lol! Buy His Book !! ITS LIKE TRUELY ONE OF THE BEST ONES OUT THERE! If your watching his videos you all ready know that!
hey, just wanted to let you know that when steeping things it’s best to keep them covered because then you get the added medicinal affect of whatever your steeping! also the dandelion root may not contain caffeine but it’s said to have stimulating effects:)
@@overratedprogrammer the idea is to preserve the essential oils. The same is applied to teas, keep them covered tight while steeping to preserve the essential oils :)
yey im gonna try this soon..i saw my neighbor's lawn's grass getting taller and untrimmed..i know it has some dandelions in there growing in there too! wanna uproot them and make some dandelion root coffee...
I love the French press too. It's similar to how my mom made coffee. She simmered for 8 min. ☺️ I'm looking forward to making this because a mix of 5 roots I used to buy went up so much in price they I stopped buying it several years ago.
That’s cool. It is probably a lot healthier for you than coffee, which has its pros and cons, however I doubt it tastes as good. But I’m glad I learned how to do it. I eat dandelion greens cooked in soup or over pasta usually…. I make pesto with wild leeks/ramps. Cheers🎉
For your dandelion "jam", when you first put the honey it, gently poke around to get the air out, and keep adding honey until the jar is full, and be sure there are no air pockets. The concoction will last a long time so long as no air touches it. You can do other fruit this way, as well as sliced garlic. Just keep it full of honey, and turn over every now and then to make sure everything stays coated with the honey and not touching the air.
Great video 👍🌱 when I did mine up, I use a much bigger shovel and start a circle 5-6 inches around the dandelion. Some of the tap roots I get with patients can be over a foot or 12 inches long 👍🌱🇨🇦🙏
Mine came out soooooooo bitter and I didn’t know if I did something wrong like maybe steeping for too long or roasting too long? I love bitter coffee but this was overkill Hahaa Definitley going to try again though, any tips are appreciated!
There are some dandelions that have stickers / thorns on them, can you use those as well or only the 'friendly' lawn ones? Another thing im surprised you are not doing, given you want to be mr natural is, have rain barrels to collect that water to make your tea and stuff from instead of the tap water. Even well water can have ooga booga's in it that you don't want. Another tip, the french press, the screen, put it in and press the mash down about half an inch UNDER the top of the water line so that it sits fully immersed and is not just floating on the top. I find that when doing stuff like this, it gives you a lot better extraction. Not to mention it sounds like it's a bit windy out there, and having the cap on the press helps keep a lot more of the heat in, and also, helps keep the bugs OUT ! when working outdoors. (Chickens too if you have curious ones like I do)
yes and there are a more purple variety that I get a an organic farm. They daste much sweeter.. inspired me to eat from the garden but they are so so much bitter from my garden. I developed a flower pancake recipe that is golden... like fries only WAY better in all the ways. And you don't deep fry in seed oil. Mix 2 eggs, a bit of almond flower, and a HEAPING amount of raw honey..blend into batter. Heavily dip the flower and cook for 3 minutes in hot olive oil.... delicious
Yes just dry them out in an oven at 200 degrees for a couple of hours, then crank it up to 350 for about a half hour until they become dark brown in color. At that point you can just store them in a jar, then grind some up whenever you like. Main issue for storage is just getting rid of the moisture.
Thank you for the two year reference on herbicides. That was some information I was looking for. Also these plant can live for many years. Should you exterminate them, then replant? Meaning, will the plant continue to hold herbicides from past years?
Does anyone save the seed to replant next year, if so, how do you store the seeds I’m disabled, so I need to sow the seeds close to my yard Much appreciated of any help God bless you and much thanks for sharing
Another great thing about dandelions is that you don't have to plant the seeds because the seeds are designed to just blow in the wind to regrow somewhere else. 🙂
I love dandelion. I wash my dandelion in a crate that you were sitting on. Just hose it down in the crate and dirt goes out and dandelion stays clean. I wash alot of garden stuff in the crate. Thank you so much for all you videos. I learned alot.
I dried Dandelion leaves and made up teabags last summer and that is definitely delicious. This year I also want to make A LOT of tea and root coffee. We don't use herbicides, etc, in our garden and I want to store up enough until I can fill the oven with two to three trays at a time. I also have dehydrators. Can I throw a few chopped roots in with other dehydrating items to dry them until I have enough to make it worthwhile roasting them? The leaves can just be left out on a tea towel and covered in the warmth of the kitchen without using space in the dehydrators, but I've yet to have success using the flowers. I left some out to dry and they fluffed up. Picking them too late, perhaps. I keep dried foods dry in saved jars by making up tiny sachets of silica gel with empty teabags that I buy in bulk. One of my favourite takeaways from this channel is Hairy Bittercress. It grows in abundance in my garden. If I take the potatoes out of a 30l tree pot and put the soil back in, by early in the following year the surface is covered in Hairy Bittercress, which is the perfect, delicate salad on a sandwich. It's not hairy and it's not bitter. The only edible/medicinal weed I've yet to come to terms with is Herb Robert, which gives off an unpleasant smell and creeps me out a bit, but I get a great deal of satisfaction from pulling it up. If you have any ideas as to what to do with it, would you do a video?
I dry the roots in the oven on a low heat. Then break them up into small pieces and grind them. Then I roast the grounds in the oven. I've tried everything from light to very dark.
I was always told that if you don't get the whole root, if you bust part off, it'll just grow right back. With that being said, wouldn't you want to at least leave a tiny part in there so it comes back again and again for you?
Subscribed. I have a Doubt🧐 I know the miracle properties of dandelion, but once you roast the roots doesn’t kill all the goodness ? Or simply just to taste a different coffee; perhaps more healthy than a regular coffee
That "jam" is simply dried out dandelion flowers with a good amount of honey mixed in it really well. I have raw honey and I have covered glass mason jars already, so I'm definitely going to make some. I'm sure that as long as you keep it away from too much heat and/or direct sunlight, it can be safely left out on the kitchen counter, table, or any other cool and dark area since honey acts as a preservative that lasts forever! In fact, natural honey is the Only food that I know of that never spoils! You can eat an unopened bottle/jar of honey that was collected in Roman Empire days or even further in history and it would still be good! Isn't nature just f'ing awesome! 👍😎🙂❤️
Hi I noticed the underside of your plywood/osb roof sheathing on your eves appeared to be not painted and if i may suggest painting that area to prevent mold and rot. Unpainted plywood exposed to the outside weather, even when hidden under eves, will draw moisture and will have a fraction of the life of painted plywood/osb. Looks like maybe a homeowner reroof job but all good contractors would paint this. Love your vids bro.
I appreciate you, these videos and genuine love of educating us on natural remedies or foraged recipes. I want to consider living basic than to be consumed by consumerism. I thank you and your team for sharing this type of content!
Great video👍Only thing I do different is to let the washed and chopped roots air dry before I roast them. Also chop mine finer-more like minced! Eventually I fill a jar with dried roots and roast the whole batch in a dry cast iron skillet. Keeping all the pieces fairly uniform in size results in a more even roast than having some totally black. I like a little char but mostly dark brown. Only need 2 Tbls of root for 16 ounces water, which simmer about 15 minutes to reach my desired flavor. Strain, sweeten with honey and whip in blender with 1 T melted butter- Yep!

Does it acc taste like coffee?
@@nsm9kx966 it’s tastes dark from the roasting and naturally bitter, hence the comparison to coffee, but actually no, I wouldn’t say they taste the same. Two different pleasures 😊
I have always called it dandelion root tea. Perhaps because it's dried but not roasted.
Thank you for your dandelion recipes. After it rains my dandelions stand 18”-24” tall. I keep whacking them and decided to find out if I could use them after all my hard work. Thanks to you I will take a new approach and harvest the whole plant. I look forward to enjoying dandelion coffee, jam & pesto on my salad.
😂☕️🥗🍯
The two of you described the aroma fully. Great video guys.🎉
You really should wait till Fall to dig the roots, that's when the flavor & energy go into them. Otherwise good video.
Does September counts?😄
@@theronika7967 , I would wait till late Sept . unless you are in a colder climate . That way as much of the plant's energy goes into the root as possible .HAPPY DIGGING !
@@ellenfisher6341 alright, I'll wait then. I'm in UK, it's not cold here at the moment... Thanks!

I buy roasted dandelion root in teabags from Traditional Medicinals. They recommend covering it while steeping for 10-15 minutes. Good video. Thanks.
Love you showed cleaning them!
You can dehydrate the greens and toss them in soups and stews or make tea from them. The tea is good for PMS and it's a mild diuretic

Listen dude, last time after the coffee it has brought me on to the sofa with a hot piece of joy
🌶🌹♥️
Great job ❤
I find it easier to get the roots after a rain, the soil is softer

Where can you buy a mix of 5 roots? Are they all dandelion? Thanx for the answer - :) / the one i used to buy at H and Barrett contains sugar - :(
This flower is found in Gilgit-Baltistan, especially in Skardu-Baltistan in large quantities. You have shared a very useful video
I often clean mine until they run clear, I suggest others do the same but I absolutely love this video and I want to go make dandelion coffee 🙌🏽🤎
great demonstration.
very informative
If you enjoy beer, I would highly recommend making burdock root beer. Its very good!
I'm going to search online for that recipe when I have more time. Thanks for the recommendation! 👍🙂
Isn’t dandelion and burdock a popular soda flavour in Yorkshire, England. That’s what a friend from Huddersfield told me years ago.
Fantastic idea. Enjoy a cup of coffee and aid the liver at the same time with the dandelion action. Cheers brother.
Just noticed, no coffee bean in this. I wonder what it would taste like mixed with coffee 🤠
That’s cool. It is probably a lot healthier for you than coffee, which has its pros and cons, however I doubt it tastes as good. But I’m glad I learned how to do it. I eat dandelion greens cooked in soup or over pasta usually…. I make pesto with wild leeks/ramps. Cheers🎉
Thank you great video. My heart says keep the little tiny roots you cast aside, so they've gone in my mix :)
can you use fall and winter roots for this as well? thanks for sharing this awesome video
How wonderful!! Thank you!
Thanks,I brought it at a health food store:$9.99 a pound,now I going to make my own, thanks again.
Excellent job 👏👍
Thank you for the great tips
FINALLY FINALLY FINALLY, one of the local grocery stores is carrying dandelion greens!
Why not collect your own?
They're plentiful and free!

I did it! Thank you for sharing
Great job
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION
Very good thank you .. have you tried licorice instead it raises blood pressure as mine is always low sometimes to a dangerous level
I like to eat the flowers fried or made into fritters. They taste like a mix between French fries and eggplant.
Thanks ...You ARE GOOD... I used Sometime ...👍🥰🤑🤫🙏❤👏
Mine came out soooooooo bitter and I didn’t know if I did something wrong like maybe steeping for too long or roasting too long? I love bitter coffee but this was overkill Hahaa Definitley going to try again though, any tips are appreciated!
Too high temperature/steeping too long
Keep that. We are all supposed to have bitters every day for our digestive health, so, maybe have it every few days once as medicinal?
Thanks
Use a fork, it's way easier to get deeper down and loosen up the soil enough to get most of the root out, without having to excavate so much.
Last few years I woulda starved without those little beauties. I’m a landscaper an half the time I grab my lunch from the yards I know are clean,
You best harvest roots in fall as the energy of the plant goes down into the roots. When still in bloom the energy of the plant is mostly in the herb.
There are some dandelions that have stickers / thorns on them, can you use those as well or only the 'friendly' lawn ones?
Another thing im surprised you are not doing, given you want to be mr natural is, have rain barrels to collect that water to make your tea and stuff from instead of the tap water. Even well water can have ooga booga's in it that you don't want.
Another tip, the french press, the screen, put it in and press the mash down about half an inch UNDER the top of the water line so that it sits fully immersed and is not just floating on the top. I find that when doing stuff like this, it gives you a lot better extraction. Not to mention it sounds like it's a bit windy out there, and having the cap on the press helps keep a lot more of the heat in, and also, helps keep the bugs OUT ! when working outdoors. (Chickens too if you have curious ones like I do)
the greens are less bitter when they are younger. good salad green if you pick em early enough.
yes and there are a more purple variety that I get a an organic farm. They daste much sweeter.. inspired me to eat from the garden but they are so so much bitter from my garden. I developed a flower pancake recipe that is golden... like fries only WAY better in all the ways. And you don't deep fry in seed oil. Mix 2 eggs, a bit of almond flower, and a HEAPING amount of raw honey..blend into batter. Heavily dip the flower and cook for 3 minutes in hot olive oil.... delicious
Would you be able to preserve the roots if you didnt want the coffee right away?
And wod it be vest to save them before or after roasting???
Yes just dry them out in an oven at 200 degrees for a couple of hours, then crank it up to 350 for about a half hour until they become dark brown in color. At that point you can just store them in a jar, then grind some up whenever you like. Main issue for storage is just getting rid of the moisture.
Great reason to used mulch. Rocks hold roots mulch is loose and will let you weed easier.
Also process the flower, the leaves, and roots. Then, wash the leaves and roots separately
Lovin’ that awesome grill! What kind is it?
Followed my heart, now I'm on the devils lettuce ..
Mee too lol
Should you be using a skillet like that dry to roast? Is it coated?!

Hi:) Just a suggestion… water them deeply then after about 1/2 hour try digging!
I dont wash the flowers. But I pick them off the plant before I pull the roots.
Can you tell the name of you stove which you used for roasting
Can you add milk to it?
Not a shovel, it's a Spade ! 😅
Is the chard necessary? Jst curious cuz i noticed ur bread was also charred.
What are the natural ingredients to use to lose weight
I can imagine people can mix this into their coffee coffee to add more nutrition
That’s a good idea to bulk up the mix
The roots of my dandelion are white on the outside are they still edible?
Yes, they usually have a skin on them tho so make sure it is dandelions and not a look alike

We spray, but not in the area where I grew mine. They stay away from the garden areas.
Putting all of the dandelions flower in honey did you notice the green bitter taste at all?
How much of the coffee can you have per day?
