Actually, I'm not using any part of the dandelion at all. :-) The
original poster was asking specifically about dandelion _wine_
however,not medicine. To the best of my knowledge, this is traditionally
made only from the flowers, never the roots. I would imagine a dandelion
root wine would be quite a bit like Parsnip wine, both in preparation
and taste.
