Reply to comment by SentientStardust85 in Today I learned that dandelion roots can be used to make a coffee-like beverage. by ty775pearl

for people who like decaf, or who want a coffee before bed, or people who yada yada, whatever. it's just a nice drink. it's also supposed to be really good for your digestive health, among other things. i make this every spring from dandelions in my yard and it kicks ass. tastes and looks just like coffee and i can drink it anytime i want without worry

To each their own, but it seems like an awful lot of work for something that tastes and looks just like something I can buy for a dollar.

it isn't really that much work, either! dig up some roots, wash them and chuck 'em in a food processor until they're in tiny chunks, then roast them and use them as you would normally use coffee grounds. getting dandelions by the taproot is also a good way to make sure that dandelion will be gone for good if you don't want them in your yard
