Number Of Ingredients 2

small dandelion leaves - 10 small leaves should make around 1 tsp of dried, crumbled leaves, enough for one cup of tea
A baking tray to hold the leaves in a single layer.

Steps:

Preheat your oven to 200F.
Wash your dandelion leaves, then place in a single layer on a baking tray and into the oven until the leaves are dry and crispy, around 7-10 minutes.
Remove the dandelion leaves and crumble them, discarding the midribs.
In a mug or cup, pour boiling water over about a tsp of crumbled dandelion leaves and leave to infuse for about 5 minutes, before straining and drinking.
The Variations:
You can vary the strength as you wish - I found that this amount made a light tea that was not too bitter, but you may wish to experiment to find a strength that suits your taste.
The Results:
Cup of dandelion tea for one.
