I got brave and triple roasted last years roots, strong, black without milk and no sugar nice and bitter !

Done as in the video it wouldn't taste too good, left to dry then roasted and ground its ready to use as a normal filter coffee. The Dandelion (lionsteeth) is a powerhouse of goodness and the milky sap is good for cuts etc.

Spring and Fall are the best times to dig them up, nutrient wise, but let the bees have a go first.

No never tried acorns, I did read they can be incredibly bitter, but for abundance and ease of collection they have to worth a try.
