Roasted Dandelion Root Tea

I've been trying to come up with a good coffee replacement with no caffeine ... so  I just put together : 2 tea bags roasted dandelion root , 2 tsp of raw organic sugar ( I know sugar is bad , but you could use stevia , or agave syrup as replacements), a tsp of natural almond flavor , a pinch of cinnamon, heavy cream ... taste like an almond flavor coffee !!! I am in ♥

 

I technically shouldn't be doing the dairy , or the sugar . But I do have replacements for both , I could use coconut milk , and agave ( stevia m akes me jittery for some reason ) .. but for today I cheated and made it like I would my favorite way to make coffee .

I made it in a Mason jar so I dont get chemicals leaching in from the plastic or paint from the coffee mugs or whatever else they sneak into our dinnerwares .

I used Traditional Medicines Dandelion Root tea , and Watsons all natural real almond flavor , and cinnamon I buy in bulk at the health food store , I am thinking this would be good with real vanilla extract and or nutmeg or even cloves    Kinda like a chai tea but made with your own ingredients !

Dandelion roots apparently have been proven to be a good detoxifier , increasing liver bile and helping move waste out . So its like having a good cup of coffee or chai tea but detoxifying at the same time .

 

 

That sounds good! I drink dandelion root tea but only when my liver enzymes are up. I drink it straight with no additives and the taste is not that great. I may try to add some things to it, maybe that will make it more tolerable.

Regarding the diet restriction, I wouldn't worry or obsess about it. My doctor has said the most important thing to avoid is gluten. Then refined sugars. He did not think I needed to severely limit unrefined sugar unless I was showing signs of Candida. Dairy is the third one to cut back on. But he was basing that on my individual diet diary and I had already eliminated gluten and cut back the majority of all sugar except fruit and most dairy.

This plan has worked for me so far. I don't restrict to the extreme because of weight loss becoming a factor. I think it depends on the individual situation.
