Dandelion Mocha Recipe

I created this roasted dandelion mocha recipe to help all my clients who were trying to stop drinking coffee. I wanted to make something that had a rich, deep flavor but also felt like a treat.

The good news is that I’ve helped hundreds of people successfully cut back on their coffee consumption!

The roasted dandelion root gives a little bit of a coffee-type flavor, making this a delicious and satisfying tea with none of the irritating properties of caffeine.

This dandelion mocha recipe became so popular that Rosemary Gladstar published it in her book Rosemary Gladstar’s Medicinal Herbs. I was over the moon when she called and asked me if she could use this recipe in her chapter on dandelion!
