This nourishing blend brings the rich, earthy taste of roasted dandelion root with a medley of aromatic spices together. Packed with nutrients and a delightful flavor, this tea-based milk drink is an ideal choice for a slow morning or a calming treat. Dandelion root is a caffeine-free alternative to black tea with a natural bitter flavor that supports liver function and digestive health. It can be found in supermarkets as Roasted Dandelion Root tea bags.
