Dandelion Coffee. The roots, collected at the end of the year, are dried at a gentle heat and reduced to powder. Some mix coffee with it.

If considered necessary to give it more colour and flavour, it may be previously mixed with a sufficient quantity of roasted chicory, which should not exceed one eighth of the whole.
