Dandy Blend

Rating:★★★★★
Category:Other
My good friend introduced this wonderful drink to me knowing I was seeking out dandelion tea to improve my health. I've never been a big coffee drinker, but I was corrupted into drinking mochas and lattes by a Diva sister who shall remain nameless.

On my first impression, my taste buds told me this was coffee, only a better, not bitter coffee. My second sip had me hooked. I don't like the taste of straight coffee, but this is better than coffee with a natural sweetness.

I've been drinking it cold, adding a little soy milk and its exactly like an iced latte to me. I'm thinking of splurging and making a smoothie with it later to see if I can make a healthy version of a frappe.

I'm sending a sample to my mom, who had to give up coffee for health reasons. Another perk, (no pun intended), its caffeine free!

I found my supply at a health food store called Green Earth located in Middleton, WI. I imagine you could also order it online from their website. http://www.dandyblend.com

Neat! I will have to find this Dandy blend and try it out...I drink to much coffee, 3 to 5 cups a day. This has been going on for the last 4 years.

I've been drinking dandelion tea for awhile now. "They" say it helps clean your liver.... I need to try making it for iced tea this summer. I'll have to look for this Dandy Blend and give it a try!

I have heard of Dandeilion tea but never tried it. There is a online friend that lives in West Virginiana and always talked about picking dandelions in the summer and drying them for tea in the winter along with other herbs. Sounds interesting

I haven't heard of Dandeilion tea before. How interesting. I am not a tea drinker or a coffee drinker. Just never liked either one!!! Glad you are liking it though!! Hugs
