Dandelions!

Today I'm enjoying dandelion tea with fresh ginger shavings.

What a flavour treat! I have to say, the ginger is surprising me. I've never been fond of ginger in cooking, but really enjoyed the homemade ginger soda my son and I made back in August. I decided to add some to my tea this morning and it's so good.

Back to dandelions.

They can be used in such a variety of ways. For most places, they are not only local but very readily available in your own (pesticide-free!) yard. And they have amazing nutritional value: Calcium, Iron, Protein, Fibre, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and more!
