I don’t have a lot of experience with foraging but since we have so many dandelions this seemed like an easy way to start! They’re laid out on a clean sheet to dry in the sun (it’ll hit them in about an hour and stay on them just about until sunset).

      I use only the flowers. Here’s a picture of them mid-processing.

        Okay, so same process start as making dandelion wine. It’s a lot of work but at least I don’t have to wait as long to make a cup of tea with it to try it. Thanks!

      It’s hard to describe tastes without relation to other tastes – I’d say it’s similar to chamomile, but somewhat greener/grassier. It tastes like early spring. With a little bit of sugar it’s very nice!
