How To Make DANDELION Root Coffee and Fried Dandelions 🌼 (Week 38)

[@karlsfoodforestgarden6963]

I drink this just about every day. Luckily I have tons of dandelions. I encourage them in my gardens because I need the roots!

[@LovinofftheLand]

That's awesome. I really wish I had tried this sooner. As it sounds like you do this regularly....Is it true it's better to harvest the roots in the Fall? Also, do you make in in bulk and store it? How well does it keep once you've roasted it and ground it? Sorry for all the questions.

[@ashlyen9389]

I remember my grandmother telling me stories about how her own mother used to make a dandelion wine out of all the dandelions from their yard. Its apparently really delicious if you can figure out how to make it.

[@christopherbrown7546]

So awesome , thanks for sharing your family’s adventures

Hi, I use Dandelion flowers to make honey like liquid. Just add sugar to flowers and leave for a few weeks out on sun. And leaves are a salad with cold or warm cooked potatoes. They are best before plant starts to flower. Greetings from Slovenia.

[@Yah-Brielle]

Hello Stef and Chris. Just had to let you know that my Mom Salome and I made the Dandelion Root beverage and it is delicious! I put half a cup of the hot Dandelion beverage with half a cup of Hot Almond Milk and a splash of Hazel Nut Milk. Thanks Stef for the how to on the Hazel Nut Milk. So yummy! Anyway, then I added a couple of pinches of Nutmeg with honey to sweeten. My Mom and I are just so excited about this new hot beverage that is free of caffine. Keep the ideas coming.

[@motherhoodsbeauty9279]

Free food. I should give this a try. It look good. I love eating roots. I love the earthy flavor they gave out. I will make the tea too.

[@myoutdoorlife3833]

Although this was enjoyable, and I love dandelion coffee and deep fried dandelion flowers, I prefer watching her eat chicken @!cks!!! Lol, sorry, I couldn't resist! 🤣

[@metafuel]

I'm loving your channel. I was just thinking the Plant Nasturtiam has a very peppery type flavor and grows very easily. May be a nice addition to your beautiful garden for the pepper spice. Keep up the excellent informative videos and greetings from South Africa.

[@curranclan9262]

I absolutely love this channel. I live in Australia and I'm trying to find different ways to be more self reliant when it comes food and drinks and I've really been enjoying your channel! Thanks so much for sharing your journey.

[@LovinofftheLand]

Thanks so much for the nice message. Glad you find it useful and are enjoying following along ❤

[@janetwalker3541]

You can use the dandelion leaves in a salad. My mom made a dressing with mayonnaise, vinegar and sugar. You can make your own mayonnaise with eggs, olive oil and some lemon. And of coarse substitute the sugar with stevia. We use to have a dandelion fair at Waterloo park in Ontario, but they stopped it. They had so many different foods they used the dandelions in. Even had it in ice cream. Wish I had the recipe for some of these, from the fair!

[@kathleenritter4532]

We used to have a dandelion & endive salad with hot bacon dressing. Yum.

[@JaimieTLA]

best tine to gather the roots is in the fall, you will get the most nutrients and flavor

[@LovinofftheLand]

That's great to know. Thank you for the info. We'll definitely harvest more then.

[@Lizardldy]

I make dandelion salve for all minor skin irritations and injuries. Yesterday I sun burned my back (took off my shirt after applying sunscreen like a goober). I put dandelion salve all over before bed and today it's fine.

[@tst1200]

I use the baby dandelion leaves in salad and make dandelion syrup and jelly. have had tea before. have not tried them fried and I just got an air fryer I need to learn to use so I will be trying then!

[@naturalgardengrows]

Apparently you can use the seeds from Queen Anne’s lace flower heads for a pepper substitute. 🤷‍♀️

[@spacesix7039]

What a wonderful experience

[@parulyadav1897]

I love watching your channel. Interesting videos shared👏

[@rachaeljohnson9583]

So im back watched this video forever ago but I learned you can also use milk thistle seeds as a coffee substitute as well!! It grows here where I am jist like dandelions 🥰🥰🥰

[@aliopylovinlifeinmy50s69]

I love using all the dandelion! What an awesome weed 😎

[@TwinsJawaCanada]

Dandelion we never know can for make tea.. Twin love dandelion for play have beautiful flowers.. thank you Chris for sharing maybe try to make salad looks taste yummy you try

[@KGNhite]

Thing about dandelions is that they are a diuretic, so should be used with caution (if not outright avoided) if you have kidney issues.

[@RakshadaShirley]

Coffee is a diuretic too.

[@wncmartin]

As we watched your video my wife and I had Dandelion tea for the first time. I wasn't sure what to expect but now I can't believe it's not coffee! That's a great alternative to decaf and without all the related chemicals. That's awesome! Now if you will excuse me, I'm going back to my newly discovered Dandelion tea.

[@LovinofftheLand]

Isn't it amazing how similar it tastes? I never would have thought.

[@LazyCookPete]

The dandelion is a great plant. Dandelion coffee is very tasty and satisfying. The flower is even more nutritious than the leaves or the root. Great video, new sub! 👍

[@motherhoodsbeauty9279]

Really?

[@LazyCookPete]

@@motherhoodsbeauty9279 Yes it really is. The stinging nettle is worthy of some research too.

[@bobvb]

Dandelion leaves are good steamed. I have heard more of the Chickory which you mentioned. Dandelion leaves are much less bitter before the plant blossoms. I live in a zone 4, so my wild plants are probably much different than you do. I was interested in your mention of Jerusalem Artichoke. A cousin gave me a few about 45 years ago and my patch has spread greatly.

[@LovinofftheLand]

Thanks for the message. Yes, we have definitely been warned to be careful about how fast they spread.

[@janiceolson7175]

Great video! So many uses for dandelions. Love it

[@vivianeb90]

I think those dandelion flowers would also taste quite good as a sweet snack since they already have a natural sweetness.

[@ironmyno]

Came here from "food not lawns" Facebook group!! Keep posting!!!!

[@donikatod460]

if you grow chickpeas you can make coffee from chickpeas. it's quite popular in certain regions of the world.

[@moonhunter9993]

you can also roast date seeds (from palms) and make coffee out of that- old arab trick. really healthy too.

[@dennismackey1414]

If the coffee, etc. tastes good you should collect and spread dandelion seeds in containers in an enclosed environment ( green house etc )... to get more material to work with and also keep them out of your grass! 😀

[@feliperamo4916]

You can do coffee with chickpeas also, same process. Roast the chickpeas, grind and ready to make coffee. I have this one before, its good and healthy. I like your videos. Good luck

[@playstationvr5753]

Wow great idea

[@barnwitchgamergirl8727]

Dandelions are my absolute favorite snack flower. They are so versatile and can be used in so many ways. Dandelion jelly is amazing and taste's like super sweet Honey

Should grow buckwheat. Grows to harvest much faster and tue greens are edible. Give bees a fantastic early boost too

You should try and grow a coffee bean plant. Does take about 3-4 years to mature and get the beans, idk how long you plan on loving off the land?

@@LovinofftheLand awesome to hear!!! Do you happen to know if you have the weed called garlic mustard up there? It grows EVERYWHERE here in upstate ny and my girls and I made a pretty tasty pesto last spring with it... we might be able to grt out and get some this weekend before everyone and everything mows and sprays for the first of rhe season... we have the dandelion, and fiddle heads and alot of other things you have?

[@Katy_living_simply]

@@LovinofftheLand I was about to ask the same thing! Can't wait!

[@archangel20031]

A hand spade is the wrong tool for getting the root out. Get one of those HUGE LONG screwdrivers, like 14' to 18" long and shove it in the ground next to the root, then wiggle it around, then if the root did not come lose, repeat the process on the other side of the root, and you should get most of it. I've mad that "Coffee" and it tastes like CRAP mixed in with dirt. Seriously am not interested in trying it again!
