Posted - May 18 2009 : 07:37:40 AMI dug and roasted roots this weekend for the first time. Last night I boiled the roasted roots to make a hot drink. It looked like a weak tea, but yum- it tasted so rich! Not like coffee exactly, but almost like cocoa. I can't describe it, but it was so surprisingly tasty! I think I've found my new bedtime drink!

I just cut my roots into chunks before roasting and then boiled them on the stove like tea. I think next time I'll chop them up before roasting and then grind it like coffee. Did you say yours was dark? It's nice to know that there are different ways to do it and they all taste good!
