Quick tip for anybody who's interested: if you soak these briefly in water and then scrub them gently with fine steel wool, they come very clean - almost white.
I loved this video 🙌🏽 The sweet aroma of the dandelion root is untouchable, but that looked a little too watery for me personally given I like mine extremely dark and rich. Seemed more like tea. I roast mine till it’s a darker color but not burnt and then I blend it in a coffee blender so it looks like cocoa powder. I’ll add a whole tablespoon to a French press and let it sit for 4 to 10 minutes with a cup of water then it’s extremely rich and dark. If you like a creamy milk substitute, I usually add hemp milk or oat milk with just a bit of honey. It’s absolutely amazing
I have so many dandelions in my lawn I actually encourage them... neighbours keep suggesting how to get rid of them, lol, shriek... no way... they are such a useful plant. Don't care what the neighbours think . Cheers. 😁🦘🐾🐨
It's about time this amazing plant was recognized for the super-food that it really is! I've been drinking this "coffee" for years and really enjoy it. With frothed milk, it makes a really convincing latte. I've recently started adding turmeric, which works well and adds even more nutritional value. I like that you say 160 to 180, because many people just give the hotter temperature, which doesn't work for me. I find that about 325 F works best for me, which falls at the lower range of your temps. When I get too hot it burns too quickly and I have to shuffle it around every 3-5 minutes to make sure it's not smoking up the oven. Nicely done! 🙂
You are the absolute sweetest - its such a joy to watch your videos, like listening to a humble friend (as well as learn SO much)! Subscribed, thank you! 💚
Awesome guys....you are right that dirt is good for you....that’s where that B12 is hiding hahaha We drink dandelion tea and love chicory root coffee too!!!! 🌱💪🌎❤️👍
I can see that the dog is spoiled, he was loving every bit of it! I’ve heard of Chivory however never heard of dandelion coffee. I’m about to try it now because I have plenty of dandelion root & flowers.
Thanks guys, I can't tell you how grateful I am to see this process, my great grandma used to make nettle tea and dandelion root coffee, and I never knew how to do it until now. So grateful for stumbling across your channel. I am going to try the dandelion honey too. I have some rosehips so I'm going to make the syrup tomorrow. I used them before to make a great winter drink for helping with colds and flu symptoms and my husband loved it.
Of course I want to do it now in May!!’ But guess I’ll have to be patient. I have an aneurysm in my Brian which had been embolised after a bleed so can’t have stimulants like caffeine! Can’t wait to try it.
Hello my friend. I would like to thank you. I wasn't awere of the purple dead Nettel .found yesterday. I'm collecting medicines. Thanks 4 your videos 💙💙💙
I very much enjoyed this video, but I did also strongly desire to pretend to be worried about the fact that I didn't have a heart-shaped pan, and ask whether or not the dandelion root would roast nicely in a rectangular pan. 😉
I drink instant dandelion tea/ coffee that is manufactured in Scotland and it’s terrific. 0:35 is the grass stem touching your cap a rats tail grass ? I’m wondering how can we utilise this anti grazing grass as I have it in my pasture and it’s driving me crazy trying to get rid of it. I dig it out as opposed to poisoning it. But it’s a massive job. Is it useful in anyway ? It’s imported not native and it takes over the pasture in a very short time. Any helpful knowledge anyone ? Please.
Enjoy that coffee!! Looks delicious! I will look for some dandylion around here! Hopefully I found some to try this! Thank you for the idea, and for sharing!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Is there a time og year where the roots are sweeter? Late Spring, I picked some roots, washed them, and left them to dry for 3 days. Roasted them on the hob for around 10 minutes. They were so bitter. What doled I do wrong?
Thanks for sharing. I have been looking for a coffee alternative. Have you tried whizzing the root in a food processor before roasting, to save on the chopping? Or does it burn if it's chopped too finely?
I definitely want to try making this at some point this year! I'm not a coffee drinker because coffee triggers my IBS like nothing else!! 😬 Since it doesn't have caffeine, I presume you don't get the energy boost you get with caffeinated coffee? Just asking because my boyfriend is a coffee nut and needs it to get through a work day. It'd be great if there was a healthy alternative I could make for him that also helps with energy levels. Thanks again for another fantastic vid!
Hi yes dandelion root is completely caffeine free I don't drink caffeine either it tasts really similar too. As for natural energy drinks there are some ill make some videos all about them soon ✌️
Yumyum i need to get some more of this before its hiding under snow Blowing some seeds your way ;) Much love xoxox i heard theres a native one here in Canada and the alien one
The human race still has so much to learn 😁 I think going back to seasonal eating is a major part of how we can make life greener and more sustainable. Plus it brings back that excitement of when things like strawberries are ready 😁
Is it better to use smaller roots? Or does it not matter? It seems like my bigger ones are 'woody' in the center. Or maybe it was because I was digging some that went to see already...
Literary making it rn and learning about daisy's and cowslips as today I will go and pick some. Over here we have an abundance of cowslip!! Very lucky indeed. Thank you for your chanel 🤍🤍🤍

Wonderful video my friend. Have a wonderful day.

Enjoy!
Did not get much juice from the rosehips but will follow recipe and see how it goes
Great idea I will try this!
I literally just harvested a bunch today to make some.
How long does it keep in the cupboard? I love your videos too

Good knowledge for sharing

love the super specific yurt hot chocolate smell reference haha! now i know exactly what u mean lol (^: thanks think i will do this soon ! x
🤣 Love it!
Let us know how you get on with it 🙂
Is there a time og year where the roots are sweeter?
Late Spring, I picked some roots, washed them, and left them to dry for 3 days.
Roasted them on the hob for around 10 minutes.
They were so bitter.
What doled I do wrong?
Dandelion & burdock was my fav childhood drink! Could you do a how to on that pls? ❤️❤️🏴
It's on the to do list 😁
@@homeiswhereourheartis ooh good Stuff I’ll wait with anticipation! Lols😜😂❤️
Thanks for sharing. I have been looking for a coffee alternative. Have you tried whizzing the root in a food processor before roasting, to save on the chopping? Or does it burn if it's chopped too finely?
We've not tried purely because we've not got one but as long as you keep your eye on it should dry perfectly fine 😁
Thanks for the info.
God bless you and your family.
Thank you 💚
I'll be honest and say I find the everyday coffee yucky but I'm going to give this a go x
Have ago you never know you might like it 🙂
I definitely want to try making this at some point this year! I'm not a coffee drinker because coffee triggers my IBS like nothing else!! 😬

Blowing some seeds your way ;)
Much love xoxox i heard theres a native one here in Canada and the alien one
Ah your in Canada I really enjoy watching Eustace Conways stuff you heard of him?
@@homeiswhereourheartis no but I will check them out thanks
@@homeiswhereourheartis yes Ontario by Algonquin park biggest provincial park in Canada
@@wildedibles819 he's very cool owns a place called turtle Island
@@homeiswhereourheartis oh very neat do you have a channel link handy?
Hello, just a question. After roasting them could you just nibble on them? or are they only good for making the drink.
You could but not sure if they'll taste so good 🤣 might try one ourselves to see
I think the water infusion draws out the goodies
I will do this
It's great!
We spend millions trying to get rid of them
Then millions on coffee that rotts out our bellies
We are a silly bunch sometimes
The human race still has so much to learn 😁
I think going back to seasonal eating is a major part of how we can make life greener and more sustainable. Plus it brings back that excitement of when things like strawberries are ready 😁
@@homeiswhereourheartis yes and it does taste way better than forcing it to be ready or not ready lol
Yes I think simple way of life is best at times
@@wildedibles819 agreed 😁
Is it better to use smaller roots? Or does it not matter? It seems like my bigger ones are 'woody' in the center. Or maybe it was because I was digging some that went to see already...
Bigger is best but they all work 🙂
Have you any beauty recipes you could show us to make? Thanks, have a lovely day. ❤️
Hi 😁
Yes we're going to share how to makes some oils soon. Have a great day too 💚
@@homeiswhereourheartis Oohh, sounds lovely. Looking forward it. ♥️
Could you put them in a coffee grinder afterwards to turn it into a powder?
Yes 🙂
Can I chop up in a food processor instead?
Yes 🙂
Hello 👋 friends 🌺
❤
I'm assuming you are cooking at celsius which would be about 350 ° F but don't want to assume and have burnt coffee ☕ 😊.
Yes 😁
@@homeiswhereourheartis thank you! ❤️
@@Mommymom your welcome 😁

Do you have the American one invading you? That be funny lol
I'm not actually sure but will look into it 🙂
@@homeiswhereourheartis ya it be interesting to know dandelions are cool :)
