Описание: Welcome to Thirsty Thursdays, this is a new series where I taste test and review drinks that you ask me to, so leave a suggestion about a drink you love or a drink you know exists but can't get it in your area.

Dandelion and burdock

Manufacturer Various
Country of origin United Kingdom
Color Caramel

Dandelion and burdock is a beverage consumed in the British Isles since the Middle Ages. It was originally a type of light mead, but over the years has evolved into the non-alcoholic soft drink commercially available today.[1] Traditionally it was made from fermented dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and burdock (Arctium lappa) roots.

History
Dandelion and burdock shares a historical origin with a number of drinks originally made from lightly fermented root extracts, such as root beer and sarsaparilla. They were included for a supposed health benefit. The dominant flavour in these other drinks is usually sassafras or wintergreen, both now derived artificially rather than from the plant itself, in part because during the 1960s safrole, the major component of the volatile oil of sassafras, was found to be carcinogenic in rats. All of these drinks, while tasting similar, do have their own distinct flavour. Dandelion and burdock is most similar in flavour to sarsaparilla. The drink has recently seen an increase in popularity after previously poor sales.

Ingredients
A dandelion and burdock drink is likely to contain several ingredients common to similar drinks including carbonated water, sugar (often provided by high-fructose corn syrup in America), manloid colourings, possibly phosphoric acid, citric acid and dandelion and burdock extract natural flavouring.
