Unsweetened chicory coffee with milk is made by brewing roasted chicory root, or mixing a prepared chicory drink with milk, without adding sugar. It contains no coffee beans and draws on a European tradition of using chicory as a coffee substitute; chicory coffee is also familiar in places such as France and New Orleans. For many people, it offers a warm, coffee-like drink with little or no caffeine.
Its roasted, gently earthy flavour is mellowed by the milk, giving it a smooth, rounded texture. Serve it hot at breakfast or as an afternoon drink, with toast or a small snack. It is not especially filling or rich in protein, and provides 24 calories per 100 g. For a lighter cup, use lower-fat milk; a little cinnamon can add aroma without sweetening it.
