No, chicory root itself is naturally caffeine-free, so cold unsweetened chicory coffee with milk is a caffeine-free coffee-style drink. That makes it an option for people avoiding caffeine, although it does not taste exactly like brewed coffee.
Prepare chicory coffee according to its instructions, chill it, then mix it with milk and ice. With no added sugar and just chicory and milk, this simple preparation is minimally processed rather than a sweetened bottled-style coffee drink.
Cold unsweetened chicory coffee with milk tastes roasted and earthy, with a coffee-like bitterness softened by milk. It has no added sugar, though milk's naturally occurring lactose can lend a slight sweetness.
Yes, its chicory base is naturally caffeine-free, so it is less likely to disrupt sleep than caffeinated coffee. Milk can still feel uncomfortable for some people close to bedtime, so pay attention to your own response.
No, iced coffee is made from coffee beans, while cold unsweetened chicory coffee with milk is made with chicory root. Chicory has a roasted, earthy flavor and naturally contains no caffeine; adding ice does not make the drinks equivalent.
No, this drink is made without added sugar. It still contains lactose, the naturally occurring sugar in milk, so “unsweetened” does not mean sugar-free or carbohydrate-free.
Yes, if you have a soluble chicory coffee product, you can mix it directly with cold water or milk as directed. Otherwise, make the chicory drink first, chill it, and then add milk and ice for a smoother cold serving.
It is best freshly made, but leftovers can be kept covered in the refrigerator and consumed promptly. Because it contains milk, do not leave cold unsweetened chicory coffee with milk sitting at room temperature for an extended period.
It can for some people. Chicory root may contain fermentable fibers that trigger gas or bloating, while milk can cause symptoms in people sensitive to lactose; reducing the serving or changing the milk may help identify the cause.
Yes, you can add a sweetener if you prefer a sweeter drink, but it will no longer be unsweetened. Taste it first: milk softens chicory's roasted bitterness, and some people enjoy it without any added sweetener.

Cold Unsweetened Chicory Coffee with Milk is made by brewing roasted chicory root, chilling the drink and adding milk. It contains no coffee beans and is naturally caffeine-free. Roasted chicory has long been used as a coffee alternative in parts of Europe; served cold with milk, it makes an easy option for warmer days.
Its roasted, gently bitter and earthy flavour is softened by the milk. Drink it over ice at breakfast or as an afternoon refreshment, much as you might enjoy an iced coffee. With no added sugar, it is lightly flavoured rather than sweet and has 25 calories per 100 g. For a lighter cup, use lower-fat milk, or brew the chicory ahead and chill it before serving.
