Dandelion Root Chai Tea

This recipe makes about a quart—a cozy, small-batch brew perfect for a slow morning or an afternoon pause. In our home, I often double it… one pot never seems to be enough! You can find dandelion root and chai spices in the bulk herb section of your local natural foods store or apothecary. Once the roots and spices have simmered into a rich, fragrant infusion, feel free to stir in your favorite creamy addition. I love using homemade raw almond milk, hemp milk, or cashew cream in this tea. For the photos here, I quickly blended up a silky cashew milk in my Vitamix. I usually fill my mug three-quarters full with the tea, then top it with warm milk and a spoonful of raw honey for a touch of sweetness. My children and I love this nourishing ritual—it's warming, grounding, and gently energizing. I hope this tea becomes a favorite for you too, not just for the taste, but for the calm and clarity it brings with every sip.
