What is Chicory coffee prepared with water?
Chicory coffee prepared with water is made by steeping or brewing roasted chicory root, rather than coffee beans. Roasting gives it a deep colour and a toasted, earthy flavour, and the drink is naturally caffeine-free. In parts of Europe it is enjoyed as a coffee alternative; in New Orleans, chicory is also traditionally blended with coffee. Serve it hot and black, or soften its pleasantly bitter edge with milk. It is an especially light drink, with almost no calories when unsweetened. If you are trying it for the first time, add a little milk or cinnamon, and keep sweeteners modest to preserve its light character.
