I don't have a lot of experience with foraging but since we have so many dandelions this seemed like an easy way to start! They're laid out on a clean sheet to dry in the sun (it'll hit them in about an hour and stay on them just about until sunset).

For the tea, do you only use the flowers or is it part of a mix?

I use only the flowers. Here's a picture of them mid-processing.

Okay, so same process start as making dandelion wine. It's a lot of work but at least I don't have to wait as long to make a cup of tea with it to try it. Thanks!
