Ground chicory
Ground chicory
Has anyone tried brewed ground chicory? I'm wanting to cut caffeine out some more and really love iced coffee. I happened to stumble upon this and am thinking of ordering some through Amazon.

Re: Ground chicory
We drank it in South Africa, it's quite popular there, it is coffee like but not the same, if you know what I mean.
Re: Ground chicory
That's what I'm reading about it. I ordered a small container of it off amazon and should get it mid-week. Can't wait to try it.

Re: Ground chicory
let me know what you think of it, as i said, we used to drink it all the time, lots of the coffee was also a coffee chicory blend, South Africa was under a trade embargo at the time and chicory was grown locally, but coffee had to be imported and was harder to come by
Re: Ground chicory
South African here. We've got a few brands that are half chicory, half coffee. I really struggle to drink it, it just doesn't have that strong tobacco flavour I crave in my coffee

Re: Ground chicory
it does not taste like coffee but you can become completely used to the taste, and enjoy it, if you do not keep comparing it with coffee

Re: Ground chicory
How much chicory to 1 cup of water do you recommend Chisamba?

Re: Ground chicory
I use one heaping teaspoon per cup but I drink my coffee that way too. I don't like my Brew too strongLindaJ wrote:How much chicory to 1 cup of water do you recommend Chisamba?
I particularly like my chicory with scalded milk.
You make the Chicory double strength in other words two heaping teaspoons of chicory per cup of water. Then you make a cup of light cream or milk or 2% if you're one of those and you bring it to pre boil. Then you whip the milk. Then you add your chicory into your milk and sweeten to taste.
