Dandelion and burdock

[koster]

According to Wikipedia, "Dandelion and burdock is a traditional British soft drink ... made from fermented dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and burdock (Arctium lappa) roots. However the "Dandelion and Burdock drink" for sale in many retail outlets, usually contains neither plant."

Where can you buy the real stuff, made from the two plants and not artificial flavourings?

Hi koster,

I am old enough (just) to remember "real" Dandelion & Burdock, this was made by a small local company.I very much doubt that you will find any "real" Dandelion & Burdock(containing the real plant extracts) now,as the big drinks manufacturers have edged out all the others.Possibly an "Organic" company may make it,if not why not try and get a recipe and make your own;the original was still and not fizzy.

Good Drinking! "Burp" Oh,pardon me!

PS,

I have found some "real" Dandelion & Burdock at this site:~

I don't know if you can ONLY order it online,or maybe they can tell you of a local retailer;but as you will see from the ingredients this contains REAL Dandelion & Burdock root extract.
