The Daily Tea #10
Dandelion Root Tea
My favorite herb/flower/weed, call it what you will. I adore dandelion root tea.
When I need a good cleanse or a bitter coffee-ish taste without the caffeine, I reach for roasted dandelion root tea.
Dandelion cleanses the liver and kidneys, flushing everything out. They're also called piss-a-beds for this reason. They're a diuretic (increases urine flow).
I always make sure I have some form of dandelion on hand (roasted, leaf or root, raw herb, or tea bags).
I highly suggest roasting the root yourself in your oven - your whole house will have a delightful chocolatey smell to it.
This plant has so many vitamins and health benefits to it. The fact that homeowners and gardeners rip this plant out is the biggest bit of proof that we are so disconnected from nature, it's insane.
I could go on all day about dandelions, but see for yourself. You can also eat the plants raw (every single bit is edible just obviously make sure it hasn't been sprayed with pesticides).

The Daily Tea #11
Butterfly Pea Flower Tea
Yes, it really does get that blue.
I found this tea on Tiktok and couldn't believe the insane color - so I had to try it for myself. Luckily, it's readily and cheaply available on Amazon.
I'm going to make my own Tiktok of me making this tea and adding the lemon juice to change its color so just keep a lookout for my Tiktok link below.
The bag says to use 1-2 teaspoons of flowers, however, the flowers are so long and big that one flower is much bigger than the teaspoon.
So I just half-filled a herb strainer with the flowers. I didn't add anything else, and that was probably a mistake taste-wise. But I wanted to see its true color.
It truly does (quickly) give off a striking blue color with a violet tinge. It turns completely purple when lemon juice is added. But the taste by itself is nothing more than warm spinach water. Even the flowers smell like spinach.
I'll try these flowers again with other herbs soon but for now it's palatable. And plus, the tea has many health benefits such as cancer-fighting antioxidants and it promotes hair growth! Read about it here: Butterfly Pea Flower (Blue Tea): Benefits and Side Effects (healthline.com)
