Hi h,

I saw Dandy Blend for sale at the warehouse. I think they still have it.

Yes!

We just restocked our supplies this week and have it in all sizes, and now

including 1 serving packets for those who want to see what this is all

about! Many agree that this tastes better than coffee ( & it does so much

more for your body) as well as making a tasty tea.

I tried Dandy Blend for my first time last year at the WAPF conference and I

love it. I bought a 2 lb bag and use it all of the time in my smoothies &

second-ferment kombucha (1/2 tsp for every 16 oz does the trick).

Besides that it tastes fantastic, there are many major and trace

minerals...good grief actually, I'm about to write a novel on the health

benefits, but I need to stop myself for the moment because I'm short on time

(you can read it on the label or check out their website).

P.S. For those already enjoying Dandy Blend, how are you using it?

P.P.S.

I'm copying and pasting a write-up that they put together on the endless

ways to put this goodness to use:

T *he best thing about Dandy Blend is that it is much more than just

a delightful breakfast beverage! *

Drink it also for lunch and dinner, and even with dessert after dinner. Or

for morning and afternoon breaks. You can put anything else

in it you want, and use it in any recipe calling for coffee. Want it

stronger? Add more powder. Make it hot or cold – winter, spring, summer or

fall– with water or milk or dairy alternatives. Add spices, sweeteners, and

flavorings. Mixed with vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt, it makes an

outstanding, and healthy, coffee-flavored dessert.

Following are some of the recipes:

! *Dandy Blend™ *is incredibly versatile, and the easiest way to get the

goodness and health-promoting

benefits of dandelion into your diet. One spoonful in a cup of hot or cold

liquid, stir, and it is ready to

drink. What the beverage tastes like and how it feels going down, depends

upon how much powder you put

into the 8 ounces of water or milk, and whether it is warm or cold.

# For a pleasant, nutty roast tea, use a level teaspoon of *Dandy

Blend™ *powder

per 8 oz of hot water. For

iced tea, put the powder in ice water and stir. This gives you a beverage

with a tea-like consistency, for

those who don't like coffee.

#. For most people, a rounded teaspoon of *Dandy Blend™ *has the body,

texture and flavor of a good cup

of coffee. For iced coffee, put the powder in ice water and stir, as above.

# A heaping teaspoon to a tablespoon of *Dandy Blend™*gives you an espresso

strength and flavored

beverage. When you are in a restaurant and want a healthy espresso, mix one

rounded teaspoon *Dandy*

*Blend *in four ounces of hot water, and ask the waiter to substitute that

for the coffee they would normally

put in the espresso maker.

*DANDY BLEND™ FOR GOURMET LATTE-STYLE BEVERAGES*

Enjoy Starbucks creations? You may also add creamers, sweeteners and

flavorings of your choice to the

above to replicate your favorite coffee flavors and beverages.

# Add *Dandy Blend™ *in 8 oz. of cold or hot milk or milk alternatives (soy,

almond, rice, or other. We

prefer vanilla-flavored Rice Dream). Also try it in chocolate milk. YUM!

Notice particularly the word " cold " - it makes an excellent iced beverage

for use in warm weather.

For store demonstrations, we make 8 cups of *Dandy Latte *at a time in a

shaker bottle.

! Add 64 oz of hot or cold milk or dairy alternative to a half gallon or

gallon mixing bottle with a water

tight lid.

! Add eight rounded teaspoons (1 per cup) of *Dandy Blend™ *and shake well.

! Now add 1 rounded teaspoon of cinnamon and 1/2 rounded teaspoon of nutmeg,

and shake vigorously

again.

! Add sweetener to taste, and serve.

This makes a *Dandy Cinnamon-Nutmeg Latte*

For smaller quantities, scale the recipe down. For example, for one 8 oz cup

of *Dandy Cinnamon-Nutmeg*

*Latte *you would use 8 oz water or milk, 1 rounded tsp *Dandy Blend*™, 1/8

rounded tsp of cinnamon, a

pinch of nutmeg and sweetener to taste.

The versions of *latte *you can make are limited only by your imagination

and creativity. Experiment with

your favorite flavors. Some people create *latte *effects using the wide

variety of flavored coffee creamers

on the market.

! *Dandy Cinnamon/Nutmeg Latte *recipe above was shared with us first by *Dawn

Bliss *of *Stony Ridge*

*Café *in Tahoma, California.

! *Café OM *in Hollywood, California offers their customers *Dandy Carmel

Latte, Dandy Mocha Latte,*

*Dandy Vanilla Latte, Dandy Carmel Cream Latte, *and various other flavors

on their menu..

! *Shatoiya Delatour*, former owner of *Dry Creek Herb Farm *in Auburn

California and renown glass

artist, tells us that her favorite is *Dandy Blend mixed with 's Irish

Creme*.

! Try hot chocolate with a teaspoon of *Dandy Blend *stirred into it. This

is one of my wife's favorites. It is

also good stirred into plain old ordinary cold chocolate milk or chocolate

dairy alternatives.

! My wife makes a nice light summer beverage for us by putting 4 rounded tsp

*Dandy Blend*™ into a

pitcher, dissolving it with one cup of hot water, adding 2 cups of cold

water, one cup of cold milk and 1/4

cup of a flavored coffee creamer, like International Creamer French Vanilla

or Cinnamon Hazelnut. She

then stirs it well, covers it, and puts in the refrigerator to chill for a

couple of hours before serving. It is

awesome.

! Many people lately have begun adding *Dandy Blend *™to their protein

drinks and other smoothies. It

makes a dynamite coffee-flavored milk shake or malt, or mocha milkshake with

chocolate ice cream or

frozen yogurt.

*DANDY DESSERTS*

Fifteen years ago, our son-in- law Dominic asked " What would happen if you

stirred *Dandy Blend™ *into vanilla ice

cream? " We took a scoop of vanilla frozen yogurt, stirred in about 1/4 tsp

of *Dandy Blend*™, added a little more

until the vanilla taste was gone and it was a uniform beige color, and

–presto– we had a coffee flavored ice cream.

Add the *Dandy Blend™ *to chocolate ice cream, and you have a delightful

Mocha treat. You can't tell the results

from the real thing! Since then we have added *Dandy Blend™ *to vanilla

yogurt, to cookies, and just about

everything else that includes coffee as an ingredient. Today we have a 1 1/2

quart ice cream maker, and add three

rounded teaspoons to the Basic Vanilla Ice Cream recipe.

Hi h~

We carry the Dandy Blend at the Traditional Foods Warehouse!

I believe we have two sizes of " pouch " to choose from.

This is a really nice morning beverage. Not really fair to call it a coffee

'substitute' since it such a fine product all alone.

Cheers,

Alan
