Dandy Liver-Loving Coffee

We hope you try our Dandy Liver-Loving Coffee recipe. It can be enjoyed two ways; for the hard-core herb-lovers it can be directly substituted in their morning coffee. Dandelion is extremely bitter, (really! It IS a bitter). Alternatively, for people wishing to reduce their caffeine intake, we encourage you to combine the dandelion brew with their morning cuppa. Life is all about balance!

The taste reminds us of the chicory-infused coffee that is often consumed in many cultures and is especially popular in New Orleans. We appreciate that this “cocktail” is one that is beneficial for our livers. And it tastes delicious!

This recipe uses the Dandelion root and the leaf to support the liver and the kidneys. The dandelion leaf is optional. If you prefer to use the root only, double the quantity of the root.
