Dandelion and Burdock drink (Tum Tum friendly)
I used to love dandelion and burdock drink as a kid, tho the shop bought stuff is full of sugar, so I'd thought id make my own, without the bad stuff.
I've not made it yet as I need burdock root and need to pick and prep dandelion root, and when stomach is feeling calmer
Ive cut away all sugar.
Dandelion
Traditionally supports:
digestion and bile flow
liver support
gentle fluid balance
mild bitterness that can stimulate digestion
Burdock
Often used for..
digestive support
skin and lymph support
gentle prebiotic fibre (from the root)
Usually milder than dandelion, but again, strong decoctions can feel “heavy” if digestion is sensitive.
Gentle Homemade Dandelion & Burdock 🌼🍵(Gastritis-Friendly)
Made for a calmer stomach,soothing rather than harsh.
You’ll need:
1 teaspoon dried burdock root
½ teaspoon roasted dandelion root (keep this lighter at first)
1 thin slice fresh ginger (optional only if ginger suits you)
1 small piece cinnamon stick (optional)
500–600ml filtered water
½ teaspoon Manuka Honey or raw honey (optional, added after cooling slightly)
Method:
Add the burdock root, dandelion root, and optional ginger/cinnamon to a small pan.
Pour in the water.
Bring gently to a simmer, not a rolling boil.
Let it simmer softly for about 10–15 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let it sit for another 5 minutes.
Strain well.
Let it cool to warm or room temperature before drinking.
Add honey only once it’s no longer very hot.
How to take it:
Start with half a cup first, not a full mug
Best after food, not on an empty stomach
Once a day to begin with
Watch how your stomach responds
If your stomach is very sensitive:
Use:
burdock root only for the first few days
then slowly introduce a little dandelion. slow, simple, and listening to the body.
Your stomach will tell the truth faster than any label on a bottle.
Sip and enjoy.
