From WEEDS IN MY GARDEN:

"...When I was in New Orleans some years ago I found the beverage made
from [chickory root] to my liking, particularly as a change from
ordinary coffee. I have since learned that one brand of coffee with
chicory as well as pure chicory may be purchased locally. It makes an
extremely dark brew."

DANDELION AND - OR CHICKORY "COFFEE"
Dig the roots. Scrub them thoroughly. Roast in slow (300 degree) oven
until brown all the way through...several hours. Grind. Brew into
"coffee" type drink just as you would brew true coffee.

"... Many coffee producers offer blends with up to 30% chicory, which
cuts down on the caffeine content of your cup. But many folk enjoy a
cup of 'coffee' made entirely from ground, roasted chicory."

In the Internet, it must be so. In a magazine, must be so. Go buy
some and use it as coffee. Get back when you do.


I've listed herb books as well as sources from the internet. I've given
you the tools you need to go look at the sources yourself and read
articles written by people who have tried the coffee for themselves. What
more can I do to support a point I made?

I never said chicory coffee was good; I said that coffee can be made from
chicory. Please try to read for comprehension instead of immediately
flying off the handle and attacking an opinion or viewpoint that differs
from your's.
