Dandelion Infused Water
The picture above shows spring and summers first blossoms in our morning infused water that starts our day at Inside Awareness for Healthy Lifestyles. For stronger liver support, increasing bile dandelion leaves will be added too! The qualities in the leaves are stronger than in the flowers. This includes bitterness. While the flowers are sweet the greens are bitter.
