# What You'll Need:

→ Dandelion Tea

01 - 2 tablespoons roasted dandelion root, loose or in tea bags

03 - 2 cups oat milk, barista-style preferred
04 - 1 tablespoon maple syrup or preferred sweetener
05 - 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

# Directions:

01 - Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan. Add roasted dandelion root or tea bags, lower heat, and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. Strain if using loose root.
02 - In a separate saucepan, warm oat milk over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling. Whisk in vanilla extract, maple syrup, and cinnamon if using.

05 - Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired and serve immediately.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The creamy oat milk foam feels as indulgent as any café latte, but with no caffeine involved.
  • It’s surprisingly satisfying, blending subtle sweetness and earthy warmth in a way even coffee lovers appreciate.
02 -
  • If you let the oat milk boil, it loses its silky texture and sometimes separates—medium-low heat is your friend.
  • Straining loose dandelion root is easier with a fine mesh strainer held right over your mug for fewer dishes.
03 -
  • Using a handheld frother gives more billowy foam than a whisk, which makes each cup feel café-level special.
  • A tiny pinch of sea salt in the oat milk layers in unexpected depth, making the flavors sing.
