Chicory drink with milk can be a useful caffeine-free hot drink, and the milk contributes protein. Its overall nutritional value changes with the type of milk and any sweetener added, so unsweetened preparation keeps added sugar low.
No, chicory drink with milk is caffeine-free when made with chicory alone, since chicory root is not coffee. Some instant blends combine chicory with coffee, so those versions may contain caffeine.
Make chicory drink with milk by brewing or dissolving the chicory product in hot water, then stirring in warmed milk. Follow the product’s preparation directions, since roasted grounds and instant chicory are used differently.
Chicory drink with milk tastes roasted and mildly bitter, with a flavor that can remind people of coffee. Milk softens the bitterness, but the drink does not taste exactly like coffee because it is made from chicory root.
Yes, chicory drink with milk can replace a cup of coffee when you want a similar roasted flavor without caffeine. It will not provide coffee’s caffeine boost, and its taste is recognizably different.
It can cause gas or bloating in some people. Chicory root may contain fermentable inulin, while milk can also cause symptoms in people who have difficulty digesting lactose; the response varies with the product and serving.
A cup made from roasted chicory is different from concentrated chicory extracts or supplements, for which pregnancy safety is less clear. Ask your healthcare professional before using concentrated products or making it a regular drink during pregnancy.
Yes, chicory drink with milk can be served iced. Dissolve or brew the chicory in a small amount of hot water first, let it cool, then add cold milk and ice to avoid undissolved clumps.
Yes, you can make chicory drink with milk using soy, oat, almond, or another milk alternative. The result will vary in sweetness and texture, so an unsweetened option gives you more control over the finished drink.
Refrigerate leftover chicory drink with milk promptly in a covered container and drink it by the next day. Do not leave a milk-based drink at room temperature for an extended period; stir well before reheating.

Chicory drink with milk combines a brew or instant preparation made from roasted chicory root with milk. Roasting gives chicory a deep colour and a gently roasted, earthy aroma, making it a familiar coffee-style drink without caffeine. Recipes vary: some use chicory steeped in hot water, while others stir a chicory powder straight into warm milk.
It is smooth and mellow, with the milk balancing chicory’s slight bitterness. In places where chicory drinks are common, it may be served hot at breakfast or as an evening alternative to coffee; it also works as a warming drink alongside a light snack. Milk contributes some protein, while the drink remains relatively light at 32 kcal per 100 g. For a less sweet cup, skip added sugar and serve it with toast or a plain biscuit.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
