Re: dandelion tea taste terrible!

I'm with you on that one, KJ! I don't care for it either. I have a

Dandelion Root Tincture that I use sometimes. It can just be added to juice

or tea and the taste isn't noticeable.

I've also tried ginger tea and couldn't stand the taste of that one either!

Pardon me but why are you using the root?

We use the leaf.. tinctured with brandy to extract the herb and our use if

used for in our setting, to act as a urinary tract infection or overall as a

diretic.. The root we use in a combo for a liver protectant...

I stand corrected. I checked the bottle and it is actually Dandelion

Root AND Leaf tincture.

as an ingredient in a juice blend.

Try giving a cup of black coffee to a kid. Bet he'd say it tastes terrible! So

if coffee which tastes awful to a kid (and really is awful for anyone

healthwise) becomes an aquired taste...dandilion which is good for you can also

become an aquired taste. Try diluting it at first or mixing it with rice or

almond milk. of Dewberry Hill

Hello all,

I bought some dandelion tea and it tastes horrible! It is dandelion

root (I wonder if that makes a difference) please do tell if anyone

knows. By the way, I put honey in it and it still tastes horrible!

KJ,

Dandelion is very medicinal so it's not a tea you would take to sit and sip and

enjoy....lol......it is very bitter and it will help with what you are

self-treating but beyond that it is not a tea you would want to sip regularly.

Swamp tea! lol

Peace

Oh, you don't like ginger tea? teehehehe....I really like ginger tea....I just

grate a bit of fresh ginger in my water and drink....now if you really want to

drink it for some specific medicinal purpose you could try adding honey to it or

some stevia leaf. Otherwise, no it's not one to just take to enjoy sipping if

you don't like it...lol. I enjoy it so for sipping enjoyment it is one I would

use. ;-)

Peace

Hi ,

" Try giving a cup of black coffee to a kid. Bet he'd say it tastes terrible! So

I know what you mean about aquired tastes, I didn't like cucumbers and tomatoes

until I was 21 or so! When I was growing up, my parents used to say I had

imature taste buds! But now I am 31 and mature, so this is not that.

I will try some almond milk and/or rice milk in my tea-but I think I will need

more than that because this stuff is HORRIBLE! I even drink echinacea and P'au

Darco (sp?) without sweetners, but this is exceptionally bad. I will let all

know if I find anything that helps.

God bless,

another thought is that we have 4 basic tastes. sweet, sour, salty,

bitter. We tend to go for the sweet and salty but leave out the sour

and bitter. Bitter activates your digestive system in ways that

other tastes don't. Could part of our healing include these tastes.

When is the last time you ate bitter greens? Why do we always

sweeten things that don't appeal to our tastes? 100 years ago it was

unlikely that sugar or honey was a major part of our life.

another thought is-- what is honey doing to your insulin levels.

Quick sugar provokes high insulin levels.

Hi Elaine,

" Why do we always

You know, people in the Bible used honey all the time! People sweeten foods

because it makes them taste better!

" When is the last time you ate bitter greens? another thought is-- what is

but leave out the sour and bitter. Bitter activates your digestive system in

I eat bitter greens all the time. I drink lemon water almost everyday. My

insulin is fine, always has been. Just because something is sweet doesn't make

it bad.

I meant no criticism, I just wanted to provoke thought. I have a

major sweet tooth. I just think that sometimes not adding sweetener

to things might aid in healing. I am just assuming that you are

making dandelion tea for healing reasons. If you cover up the tastes

with honey (not my choice) or maple syrup (my choice) do you get the

full benefits of the food/herb/remedy? I ask this question from a

healing point of view not just daily living. At the same time I ask

this question, I'm trying to find a way to make some tinctures taste

a bit better!!! Not a hypocrite, just seeking information.

If you want to taste a really nasty tea (my opinion ofcourse), try

yarrow. Schulze says that you know you are drinking enough yarrow tea

when you lean over and it comes out your ear. I guess sweetening

yarrow would be better than not drinking it at all, or maybe I just

need to " aquire " a taste for it.

Hi Elaine,

I know you meant no criticism, I didn't take any. I do believe that God gives

us different tastes/likes just like we come in different shapes and sizes and

colors.

I also have a major sweet tooth. As far as not adding sweetner, well, things

should be palpable. Either I need to take another herb, or find a way to deal

with the one I got. Honey, molases, maple syrup, there is nothing wrong with

this. I plan to make dandelion tea a part of my regular daily habits, so it

must taste good.

I don't see why I wouldn't get the full benefit when using sweetner. Only if I

cannot digest the sweetner or it is somehow adulterated would it affect the

herb. In my humble opinion!

I am using the dandelion tea for my liver.

By the way, I got many responses. Someone even told me to simmer the tea until

it is 1/2 of the amount of liquid I started with. So I will try each suggestion

(easiest first) and keep going until I get the one that is good for me, I paid

$8 for that bag of loose tea!

God bless,

KJ
