That is the whole method. \u003cstrong\u003eThere is no simmering and no straining\u003c\/strong\u003e, because the root has already been milled. A cut or whole root needs a 15 minute simmer to get anything out of it, and milling removes that step. Stir again before drinking, since powder settles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat it tastes like\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEarthy and properly bitter, the same character as the whole root. The bitterness comes from a group of compounds called sesquiterpene lactones, the reason dandelion root has been brewed as a bitter drink for as long as anyone has records of it. It is taken as a small shot rather than sipped by the mug, and it is naturally caffeine free.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is in the bag\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDandelion root powder and nothing else.
