DANDELION TEA - HOW TO MAKE IT [HEALTH BENEFITS] & TASTE TEST (OAG)

[@AcornHillHomestead]

OAG we miss you so much. I hope you are continuing your teachings in heaven!

[@lorrainemarcone6912]

My Sicilian immigrant grandma lived to 99. One of the main foods she fed her 6 children on was dandelion which she could gather in fields near her home. My mom was the youngest of the six. She is 93 and still saves the dandelion water to make coffee. I was raised on eating dandelion, boiled and fried with garlic and olive oil on a piece of open face toasted semolina bread. A little salt and that is my favorite vegetable! No one else I know eats it because they think it’s bitter. Too bad they weren’t introduced to it at 3 years old like me. I crave it and love it and enjoy it so much! Thank you Sir for being another person who understands the health values of this extraordinary “weed” dandelion!

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

Thank you.

[@tzipikathleenhartson6275]

Love your story!

[@johnnovick1643]

@@OldAlabamaGardener Yes sir, few know the power of bitter herbs, fruits and vegetables. The bitter taste stimulants the liver pancreas and gallbladder to work better. Greatly increasing appetite, taste for healthy foods digestion and liver health. Constant eating of sweet foods messes all that up.

I like eating peppermint leaves out of my garden wheatgrass just cut the tops off and chew on it and I spit it out as I walk around the yard and I also grow my own aloeand Italian herbs. I added dandelion root to the supplements. I take 2 to 3 times a week. That is why I was watching his very good video.

Dandelion helps my eyes tremendously. My Story: In June of 2022, I started to see Rainbow Halos at night. At first, I thought it was cool that I can see "Rainbows" at night. Come to find out, my eyes/body was in trouble because they started to get really blurry and I thought I was going blind. After researching, I started to drink Dandelion Root Tea. After 3+ days, my eyes started to clear up and about 3 months later, the "Halos" was gone and I was able to see clearer. Although I am not sure why yet it made my eyes clearer and now NO MORE Halos. When I did some research on it... It said... "it is chock full of Vitamins A, B, C, and D, as well as minerals, such as iron, potassium, and zinc." Later on, I discovered that it's A and E and Iron that helps my eyes to get better and clearer. Thank you for the video, because I will start to hunt for the roots now since we are in winter. *NOTE:* If you have too much Potassium in your diet, it will make your eyes blur. Dandelion helps you pee (diuretic), which removes Potassium + Toxin from your kidneys/liver.

So nice to hear someone just say the truth about weight. My co worker corrected me once when I was using fluffy for her to be nice. She said, Ms. ___, I'm fat, and it's because I eat too much and move too little. An honest response. She later began to walk and eat better and lost down to a more healthy size. You have to look a problem in the face before you can address it. My respect. Miss this cool guy. Rest on peace.

I like to make blender drink with fresh dandelion leaves and coconut water. Somehow the bitter leaves and the sweet coconut water, both very healthy for you, makes this very enjoyable for me. Depending on the how good your blender is, you can drink as is or strain and drink.

Love, eating dandelion roots, along with my turmeric and oregano.

[@mechellecrosby2621]

I love this video. Thank you! You could add 1tbs of apple cider vinegar instead of lemon juice. And still add the honey, but just a touch. Cuts the bitterness better, and delicious! Makes it kind of taste like a Coke.

[@died4us590]

Hi, I am 50, but when I was 7, my brother and sister rubbed the yellow part of the dandelion on my face, and I started having trouble breathing. I told my mom, and she drove me to the hospital, I turned blue and was not breathing when she got me there. I guess it took three shots of adrenaline to bring me back. I had this happen one other time as a kid, and ma got me there in time again, same amount of shots. As an adult I haven't had allergies like i did as a kid, hope I can try this tea. God bless, and thank you.

You are welcome. Dandelions grow wild around here. I need to dehydrate some for winter. OAG

@@OldAlabamaGardener I was about to ask about dehydrating dandelions. Thanks for sharing Sir.

[@OldAlabamaGardener]

@@sweetdweams Dehydrating them is pretty easy, wash them and place them in a dehydrator until they will crumble. Herbs should be dehydrated at about 90 degree F, you don't want to dehydrate herbs at high temperatures, it reduces some of the herb's effectiveness. Thank you for watching my videos.
