Notes

  • Dandelion root has natural diuretic properties, so drink in moderation.
  • If pregnant or on medications (especially diuretics or blood pressure meds), consult a doctor before using dandelion tea.
  • Roasted dandelion root gives a richer, slightly nutty flavor, while raw keeps it earthy and mild.
  • Peppermint aids digestion and freshens breath — also helpful if drinking after a heavy meal.
