It's super simple, I have a French press, I put one and a half heaping tablespoons of coffee beans ( I use a medium roast) and half a tablespoon of the herb mixture into the grinder together. My spoon is a huge old English soup spoon, so definitely go heaping! You have to grind for longer than usual, the dandelion pieces are a bit harder than coffee beans. Then the powder goes into the press, I pour boiling water on and let it steep for about 10 min or so. The herb mixture is very easy to make. You can usually buy roasted organic chicory root, cut and sifted, at Amazon from a brand like Frontier Herbs by the pound ( search with the term 'bulk'). Organic dandelion root, cut and sifted, a lot of times does not come roasted, so I put it in the oven at 250 or 300, spread out on a sheet, for about 10 min or so, smells really good... When cooled down, the two pounds get mixed together by hand in a big bowl and I add some roasted whole barley for fun if I have it and that's it. Enjoy!
