Dandelion Root Latte

This is set to be the new latte trend: dandelion root latte. Dandelion roots have a rich, coffee- and chocolate-like flavour without sending you on a caffeine-fuelled rollercoaster of highs and lows. Instead, you get a sustained shot of energy and a rich source of antioxidants. Dandelion root is particularly good for liver health, helping your body rid itself of toxins without depleting it of nutrients and minerals it needs.

Ingredients

  • 250 ml oat, hazelnut or almond milk
  • 1 tbsp dandelion root coffee/powdered dandelion root
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Grating of nutmeg (optional)
  • Maple Syrup, Honey or Coconut Sugar (for sweetening)

Instructions

  • Warm 250ml oat, hazelnut or almond milk in a saucepan.
  • Whisk until frothy.
  • Add 1 tablespoon dandelion root coffee or powdered dandelion root, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon and an optional grating of nutmeg.
  • Sweeten with a drop of maple syrup, honey or coconut sugar, to taste, and drink warm.

Notes

TIP: if you’ve got dandelions growing in your garden, you can dig up the roots, scrub them clean, gently peel, chop into 1-2cm pieces and roast in a 200C/Gas 6 oven until nutty brown, 20-30 minutes. Cool and grind to a powder in a coffee grinder, just as you’d grind coffee but finer.
