Frequently Asked Questions About Ricoré drink
What is Ricoré drink?
Ricoré drink is a soluble blend of coffee and chicory, a root that is roasted and used as a coffee-like ingredient. It is especially familiar in France and has a distinctive roasted, earthy taste.
How do you make Ricoré drink?
Stir the Ricoré drink powder into a cup of hot water or milk, following the directions on your product’s package. Preparation instructions can vary between versions, so use the label’s suggested amount and liquid.
Does Ricoré drink contain caffeine?
Yes, Ricoré drink contains caffeine from its coffee component; chicory itself is naturally caffeine-free. The amount can vary by product and preparation, so it should not be assumed to have the same caffeine level as a cup of coffee.
What does Ricoré drink taste like?
Ricoré drink tastes roasted and coffee-like, with an earthy note from chicory. Its flavour is different from plain instant coffee, and adding milk can make the drink taste softer and creamier.
Is Ricoré drink the same as chicory coffee?
Not exactly: Ricoré drink combines chicory with coffee, while chicory coffee may refer to chicory alone or to other blends. Check the product’s ingredients if you need to know which version you have.
Can Ricoré drink replace regular coffee?
Ricoré drink can be used as a coffee alternative, but it is not identical to brewed coffee. It is a soluble coffee-and-chicory blend, so its taste, preparation and caffeine content can differ from your usual cup.
Can you make Ricoré drink with milk?
Yes, Ricoré drink can be prepared with milk when the product directions allow it. Milk gives the blend a creamier taste; hot water is another option for a lighter cup with the roasted chicory and coffee flavours.
Is Ricoré drink a French drink?
Ricoré drink is strongly associated with France, where coffee-and-chicory blends are a familiar choice. It is a branded soluble drink, rather than a traditional brewed coffee with one fixed recipe across all versions.
Can you drink Ricoré drink cold?
Yes, you can serve Ricoré drink cold. For a smoother result, dissolve the powder in a small amount of hot water first, then add cold water or milk and ice.
How should you store Ricoré drink after opening?
Keep Ricoré drink tightly closed in a cool, dry place after opening, away from moisture and strong odours. Use a dry spoon and follow the storage instructions printed on the package.

What is Ricoré drink?
Ricoré drink is a branded hot coffee-and-chicory blend, commonly sold in soluble form and mixed with hot water or milk. It is especially familiar in France, where chicory has a long history as a coffee companion; elsewhere, it offers an easy alternative to a regular cup of coffee.
Expect roasted coffee notes alongside chicory’s distinctive, slightly earthy bitterness. In France it is often made with hot milk and enjoyed at breakfast, while you can prepare it with water or milk and drink it whenever you want a warming cup. Served plain, it is a very low-energy drink. For a lighter option, leave out the sugar; add milk to soften the taste if you prefer.
