Dandelion tea

Dandelion flowers + tea

This actually turned out better then I thought, not only is this easy but tasty to, at least in my opinion. The flavour was similar to something like green been water, not that I know what green been water taste like.... ok.. ok, you caught me, I drink green been water, my secret is out,  naaa!! im just kidding, but when you taste it youll know what I mean.

This recipe was only an infusion, but next time I will go for the blended mixture and see how she goes.

What I can say so far is, there is almost a sense of calm or well being I notice after drinking this tea, Im not sure what it is or whether its some type of placebo effect but I will investigate this further. 

The recipe was posted on Dandeliontea.org ( http://www.dandeliontea.org ). This site has everything to do with dandelions, very helpful, so if you havent had a dandelion tea, what are you waiting for!!

Lunch time goodness Recipe ❒ sprout sandwich ❒

redina lettuce under 90 watt L.E.D

This sandwich is something of a regular mealtime of mine and while it can be eaten everyday, you wouldnt want to devoir this then go on a date. With a whole clove of garlic freshly grated, this sandwich will saturate your mouth with the aroma of 100 Italian meals at once. There is no skimping on taste here, bold basils and old cheddar cheese, radish sprouts and mammoth dill, Italian parsley and spiced coriander, all add up to a sandwich fit for a king or queen. This is almost a completely raw sandwich besides the bread but Im sure there is a substitute for some type of raw bread if needed.
While this may be to strong for some people, I mainly look at the idea of health and then taste, when it comes to my preparations sometimes health wins out more, so if you think grating up a large clove of garlic and putting it on toast is to much, some of my meals might blow you away.
( tweaking may be needed ) and generally I dont like to give exact amounts, it just seems funny to me, everyone likes there meals with a different variance of certain taste, so take my amounts with a grain of salt and play around to match your liking.
Lets start.




Simply toast the bread of your liking ( we use organic Kamut ), grate up a whole clove of garlic and spread on the bread, add hummus on top of the garlic, ( add sea salt and pepper here ), then apply cheddar cheese of your amount,
layer X amounts of lettuce ( we use redina and black seeded simpson ), add radish sprouts, alfalfa sprouts, red clover sprouts, and canola sprouts ( sandwich blend )? ( non GMO, we use Mums seeds ), combined with italian parsley, spiced coriander, ruffles basil, + red ruben basil, arugula, mammoth dill.

Optional items ( help mix it up!! )

Jumping jack flowers
chicken
nasturtium leaves or flowers
candied ginger
chives
Hot sauce or hot peppers
Sweet pepper ( we go for poblano, cubanelle, or bell )
cucumber ( for crunch )
smoked paprika
smoked salmon
avocado
