RE: Chicory! Coffee Replacement, Health Tonic, Beauty, Pollinator Food, and more. An AMAZING herb.
I know a thing or 7 million about addiction and recommend a tapering or titration plan. For coffee it's easy to do with blended chicory and coffee which is basically every Indian coffee mix available. Of course doing it yourself is best but most blends are 75/25 coffee to chicory. Originally a coffee crisis forced this blend on the world but it's quite delicious... Sips afternoon Indian coffee..
Thank you for the advice. I agree that I have seen a blend of coffee and chicory. I went from never drinking coffee (only herbal teas and water), to drinking a little coffee, then to sometimes 2 cups a day. I wanted to stop the coffee kick so I went to chicory and I did full on chicory with no coffee mixed in and I had absolutely no issues. But for me, I wasn't drinking coffee for the cafeine. It was the flavor, smell, comfort, etc. Chicory was such an easy transition for me that I had no problem with kicking coffee and didn't need to blend it but from time to time, when I need a little extra boost, I have no problem with adding a scoop of coffee grounds in with the roasted chicory when I make my morning delight. It honestly has a roasted chocolately coffee flavor to it so it was such an easy transition.
