Whatcha Need:

* 1 qt fresh dandelion flowers

* 1 cup water (hot)

* 2-3 TBSP dried stevia leaves or other choice of sweetener to taste)

* ½ cup red raspberry leaf tea 

* 3 quarts water (cold)

* 3 lemons (juiced)

How it’s Done:

* Pick the dandelions fresh and place in a strainer. Get only the yellow parts of the flower and pull off any leaves (use in salads) and stems.

* Rinse well with cool water(but I don’t lol a few bugs ain’t gonna kill ya). 

* In a jar or cup, pour the hot water over the Stevie and Raspberry Leaf red and stir well. If using another sweetener, put it in the warm water instead.

* Let steep 10-12 minutes and then strain off the herbs.

* Pour the sweetened liquid from the stevia/raspberry leaf into a gallon size glass jar(or pitcher whatever you have).

* Add the juice of the lemons and adjust taste,then the cool water and stir well.

* Add the dandelion flowers and mix gently.

* Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or until completely chilled and serve. I You can strain out the flowers(and whatever bugs lol)or pour them into the cups. Masai likes to freeze them into ice cubes for decoration🤪!

* It’s good for 4 days at least,however it probably won’t last that long🤷🏾‍♀️! 

* Enjoy
