Dandelion Coffee
1. Wash and scrub roots (pick the younger roots w/o a hollow center)
2. Dehydrate the roots until bone dry.
3. Roast in a 345 degree oven for 40-50 minutes (depending on how dark you like the roast)
4. Grind (I use a flour grinder, but I imagine a coffee grinder would work fine)
5. boil about 3 T per cup of water for about three minutes.
6. Strain (I use some fine mesh cheesecloth, but a coffee filter might work as long as you don't have too fine a grind)
You can bypass the dehydrating process if you roast the roots at a lower temp (200 degrees) for several hours. I think it is cheaper to use the electricity on my dehydrator though.
Enjoy! I think this is outstanding with a touch of maple syrup.
*edit: This same recipe works for Chicory as well
