If you are looking to cut back on caffeine but still crave the ritual of a warm, dark, bitter cup in the morning, this is your drink. Roasted chicory root and dandelion root brew up into something that looks and tastes remarkably like coffee. A touch of cinnamon and a splash of milk make it feel like the real thing.
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp roasted chicory root
- 1 tbsp dandelion root
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 tsp Ceylon cinnamon
- Splash of milk or cream of choice
- Sweetener of choice (optional)
*Bolded ingredients are products we typically carry at Tare Bulk Foods.
Directions
- Combine the chicory root, dandelion root, and water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger and more coffee-like the flavor.
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer into a mug.
- Stir in the cinnamon and add a splash of milk and sweetener if desired.
Notes
- This is completely caffeine-free, making it a great option for evenings or for anyone avoiding caffeine entirely.
- For a richer brew, use a French press instead of a saucepan.
- Add a drizzle of Duck River honey or TN maple syrup for gentle sweetness.
