Chicory Root Roasted

Roasted until it's dark and fragrant, chicory root brews a cup that's remarkably coffee-like — deep, nutty and woodsy — with none of the caffeine and a natural, mellow sweetness of its own. A little goes a long way, so it makes a strong, full-bodied brew.

Chicory has a long history as a coffee substitute and coffee-stretcher: it became the signature style of New Orleans coffee, and kept the morning ritual alive across Europe and North America when coffee was scarce. Today it's a favourite for anyone cutting back on caffeine who still loves the ritual of a rich, dark cup.

To brew: pour 8 oz (240 ml) of just-boiled water over 1 tablespoon of roasted chicory root and steep 7–10 minutes. Strain and enjoy black, or add milk and a little sweetener, just like coffee. Stir a spoonful into your ground coffee for a New-Orleans-style blend, or cold brew it overnight for a smooth iced "coffee."

Chicory Root (Cichorium intybus) grows all over the United States and is cultivated in some areas in Europe, where it is roasted, ground, and used as a coffee substitute or an additive.
During World War II when shipping from coffee-producing countries was disrupted, chicory was used in the United States to produce "coffee." Chicory has also been added to certain European beers and ales.

Chicory plant is related to the Dandelion, yet has a blue flower and is called “Blue Sailors” in some places. It was brought to North America in the 1800’s and has become adapted in much of the eastern, Midwest and western states. The leaves can be eaten in the spring as a bitter green, much like dandelion, and it has been cultivated as a fresh green fodder for livestock. The leaves are rich in vitamin c.
Chicory root has properties similar to those of dandelion. The roots are tonic, help regulate the release of fluids and water-soluble waste, have mild laxative properties and support and regulate kidney and liver function.
