1 oz Dandelion Root, dried

1 oz Burdock Root, dried

1/2 oz Ground Ginger

1/2 oz Ground Cinnamon

It has a cleansing, revivifying effect from the dandelion, burdock and sarsaparilla. Mix together all ingredients and store in a tightly closed container. In a large pot combine 1 quart of water and 4 tablespoons of dry mixture. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey or stevia (also called “sweet herb”) if desired. Makes about 4 cups Variation: For iced tea, chill the simmered mixture, then dilute it with 1 quart of sparkling water. Serve over ice with a twist of orange peel. Source: Vegetarian Times, April 1993 Shared by: Norman R. Brown From: Bob Emert
