Roasted Chicory 200g

Description

Chicory beverages are made from roasted chicory root.   For hundreds of years infusions of chicory have been known and appreciated on different continents as a nutritional and valuable drink as an alternative to coffee, tea and cocoa.

Chicory root tea is made by steeping chicory root – ground or chopped.  Chicory coffee is a beverage made using the roots of the chicory plant, which are roasted, ground and brewed into a coffee-like drink.  Chicory coffee tastes similar to coffee but has a flavor that’s often described as slightly woody and nutty.  It’s used either on its own or mixed with coffee to complement its flavour.

How to use

We recommend to use about 1 tablespoon ( add more if you would like it stronger ) of ground chicory root per 1 cup (237 mL) of water. Allow the chicory root to steep in the pot for 5 minutes. Pour through mesh strainer into a mug. Sweeten and/or add something creamy, as desired; or drink black.
