I'm sure that most of you have heard of it, how many have actually made it?
Here in the Ozarks of South Missouri it grows everywhere! From now to end of March is a great time to make tea from the root.
Start out by digging a few roots and wash them in the sink to remove as much dirt as possible.
Then place the roots in a pan with water like this
Turn the heat on and bring to a hard boil for about 15-25 minutes
Pour the liquid through a towel or other cloth for straining purposes. Pour in a cup and add sugar. Be liberal on the sugar as it is pretty strong
