Ingredients

>> 12 cups cold water
>> 7 bags of Tetley tea
>> 3 cups dandelion flowers
>> Sweetener of choice

Instructions

After foraging for your dandelion flowers let them sit for about an hour to allow any insects to escape.

Bring the water to a boil in a large pot, add in the tea bags and dandelion flowers then turn the heat off. Allow the tea to infuse along with the dandelion flowers for at least a half hour, but an hour to two hours will make a stronger tea.

Strain, pour tea into a jug or other container, then add sweetener and mix well. (I use maple syrup.)

Place finished tea in the fridge and enjoy within one week.
