Roasted Dandelion Root Frappe
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
This delicious, liver-supportive frappe combines rich mocha flavours with ‘feel-good’ theobromine from raw cacao. There is a small amount of caffeine in chocolate, so if you are very sensitive to caffeine, skip the ground cacao nibs and use roasted carob powder instead.

Ingredients
- 3 cups freshly boiled water
- 2 tea organic roasted dandelion root tea bags
- 3 cups homemade ‘thick’ almond or hemp seed milk (recipe follows)

- Process on high speed until frothy and smooth -around 1 minute.
- Pour the strong dandelion tea into mugs half-way. Top with thick almond milk or cream which has been whipped into froth in the blender.
