To remove bitterness, they need to be either soaked or bleached. Soak them in cold salt water for 15-20 minutes. The bleaching method is good for owners of their own lawns. Mow the dandelion greens and cover the mown lawn with a basin. In the dark, without access to the sun, pale juicy leaves will crawl out of the socket, in which there will no longer be bitter milk. Flowers are collected soon after they fully open. It is better to dig up the roots in the fall. To prepare a "coffee" drink, they need to be washed, dried in the oven and ground in a coffee grinder.
