The yellow flowers (dandelions) are removed and dried in the sun, then soaked in water for a few days. The thick, dark dandelion tea that results is the basis for the Pissenlit, which is made also from traditional barley malt and hops. It resembles a classic saison beer- a golden spritzy brew, strong and very flavorful, with a good hop bite. You may have to strain to taste the dandelions, but you know they’re in there. It should be noted that uncooked, the dandelion has a diuretic effect and is known in France as Pissenlit (literally, "wet the bed" - this also happens to be the British folk-name) for precisely this reason.
