Burdock Root Tea Recipe

With its nutty, sweet, and bitter notes, this burdock root tea is a delicious way to support detoxification, skin clarity, gut health and more.

It can be roasted to increase its antioxidant concentration and nutty flavor, or it can brewed without roasting to maximize the amount of inulin (prebiotics) present in the final cup. You'll find instructions for both methods below.

The Herbal Apothecary and other herbal sources recommend drinking burdock root tea 1-3 times per day, so I make one batch in the morning that I sip on throughout the day. Below is my recipe for a triple batch, aka three servings for use throughout the day. If you just want to make one serving use the amounts found in parenthesis.

Unroasted Burdock Root Tea (My Usual Method)

Add water and dried burdock root to a pot and bring to a boil.

Strain out the roots and serve.

Roasted Burdock Root Tea

Place a medium pot over medium heat and place the dried burdock root in the bottom.
Toast the root until it becomes fragrant, then add the water and bring to a boil.
Reduce heat, then cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 10-12 minutes.
