Common Dandelion (Taraxacum officinale): Images

Date Location Notes Images
June 28, 2009 Southeastern New Hampshire Most flowers gone. Leaves tough and bitter. Notice purplish veins.
May 10, 2010 Southeastern New Hampshire Dug up a couple of dandelion roots for tea. Washed. Dried in oven at 175 degrees until the pieces were brittle (approximately 6 hours). Decided not to roast the roots at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes. I like the tea better with unroasted roots. Roasting the root makes the tea taste more like coffee.
