Dandy Iced Tea

Gluten-free | Sugar-free | Caffeine-free | Dairy-Free | Vegan

Makes: 2 litres

My Dandy Iced Tea is a powerhouse of goodness thanks to the natural diuretic, dandelion root. Dandelion is known to provide relief because it acts as a diuretic and increases urine output[1]. After a long haul flight, it's also excellent to ease leg swelling from sitting for long periods.   

I also use chai spices in this recipe to balance the mind and improve immune health and inulin powder to add soluble fibre and prebiotics for gut health.

The straightforward recipe is super refreshing and highly beneficial.  

Hints, Tips & Tricks

Dandy chai tea bags are available in some supermarkets and health food stores. Alternatively, you can make my Homemade Dandy Chai for this recipe. 

This recipe also calls for inulin powder, a soluble fibre derived from plant-based sources. It is prebiotic, making it a fantastic ingredient for our gut health, and it's also a healthy alternative to sugar. You can read more information about inulin powder --> here. Or, if you're wondering where to purchase some, we sell 100% Chicory Inulin Powder for home delivery*! Find out more --> here.
