Like burdock, dandelion (Taraxacum officinalis) is both an edible and medicinal plant. Dandelion is rich in protein, potassium, inulin, iron and trace minerals.
You can use the fresh or dried leaves and roots.
Clean and cut up several fresh roots and/or leaves
Put them in a clean container
Use a vodka that has 45% alcohol content (also known as 90 proof)
Add the alcohol at a 2:1 ratio (i.e. 2 cups of vodka to 1 cup of fresh leaves/roots)
If you are using dried leaves/roots, use a 5 to 1 ratio instead (i.e. 5 cups of vodka to 1 cup of dried leaves/roots)
