Julie’s been experimenting with “different” recipes... Here she’s made us dandelion root coffee substitute.

The first sip was surprisingly strong and earthy, but it kind of grew on me after that.  It was apparently popular in the Civil war era.  They would use this when they ran short on coffee and still wanted that sharp, warm cup of comfort in the morning.  It was a lot of work for a couple cups!

You can see the history and recipe here:
