Answer 1

I have heard it called Methodist Champagne.

Answer 2

Dandelion and burdock is a traditional British soft drink. Traditionally it is made from fermented dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) and burdock (Arctium lappa) roots, and is naturally fizzy.

Answer 3

The original concept is from dandelion and burdock. I'm not sure how true to the original recipe it is. Either way, it's not one of my favourites!!!

Answer 4

It is made from Dandelion and Burdock, so I am led to believe.

Answer 5

And why not? It should be exactly what it says - dandelion and burdock. I'm not overkeen, but it's my mother's favourite. It's a very old-fashioned drink, just like cola, which was around a very long time before the Coca-Cola company was founded, and is a *very* different tasting drink.

Why are you so sceptical that drinks can be made from things other than fruit?
