Very interesting, cool video! How do you clean your dandelions when you pick them, because I always have tons of bugs on them when I get them, but but he time I wash them I used so much water that I don;t know how eco friendly or water savvy I’m being, or I destroyed the bud by being too harsh. Also, do you dry the dandelions before you use them for tea? Because I tried drying the leaves and leaving them normal and I think I like the dried more because its compacted in the tea container.

I have never really had many bugs on them. I just dust them off with my hand. If making dandelion wine, I wash them just dunking in a basin. To dry, it is best to use a method that gives good air circulation, like a screen or tying in bunches and hanging.
