Dandelion Tea – Moza Té de Diente de León

Dandelion tea, or té de diente de león, is an herbal tea made from the dried dandelion plant. Moza dandelion tea brews a golden-brown cup with an earthy, slightly bitter taste, a bit like roasted greens or a mild coffee substitute. It is naturally caffeine-free and a favorite in many Latin American homes.

How to brew dandelion tea

• Hot: steep 1 tea bag (or 1 teaspoon if loose) in 1 cup of just-boiled water for 5 to 10 minutes. Longer steeping gives a stronger, more bitter cup.
• Softer taste: add honey, a slice of lemon, a cinnamon stick or a little ground ginger.
• Iced: brew double strength, let it cool, then pour over ice.

What it tastes like

Earthy, grassy and lightly bitter. If you like chicory coffee or green tea without the caffeine, give it a try.
