Mmmm, pissenlit in your cup.
That is the French translation for dandelion. Lately I have been drinking a couple mugs of dandelion & spearmint tea since I have no shortage of either and it is actually quite good. It turns out that dandelion leaves contain almost every vitamin and mineral a person needs, kind of the multivitamin of the plant world -they are very high in potassium. Basically I take four to six large washed dandelion leaves along with the same number of spearmint leaves, tear them up then let seep in hot water for 10-15 minutes. I have to say I’ve been feeling pretty darn good since I started drinking it. It supposedly stimulates the liver and kidneys. It is a diuretic so yes, you will pee more which the French name nicely implies.
