💰Cheaper: ground ginger

🥗Healthier: peppermint extract

💰Cheaper: dried mint

Dried mint is a cost-effective alternative with a longer shelf life.

Take one ounce of dried dandelion root, which is about one large handful.

Place the dried root into a quart mason jar.

Pour boiling water gently and slowly into the mason jar to avoid shocking the glass.

Fill the jar with hot water until it reaches the top.

Cap the mason jar with a lid.

Let the mixture steep or macerate for eight hours.

After eight hours, strain the infusion.

Drink eight ounces of the infusion two to three times a day.

Store any leftover infusion in the fridge, where it will keep for two to three days.
