Barleycup Organic Chicory Cup, 100g

My favourite coffee substitute, great for gluten free needs as most of the coffee substitutes have barley in them. I've got this on repeat order

I am unable to drink coffee due to allergies but this definitely fills the gap. It has a nice roasted taste and goes well with milk or sugar or just on its own. Could do with a bigger jar but I'm not complaining! Worth trying if you can't drink coffee.

Scrummy alternative to coffee. Rich earthy flavour that to me is very coffee-like. Not as complex as the real deal, but a pleasant facsimile. I like it black or with a little xylitol and milk. I also use it to turn vanilla ice-cream into 'coffee' ice-cream by dissolving some of the powder in a few drops of water and then mixing it in. I store the whole jar as-is inside a Ziploc bag with the air pressed out, which stops the contents from hardening. Works for several months, but the powder will eventually go hard unless it's used up quickly enough.

Good

Tastes like burned. However, I got it as a healthy substitute for coffee. Later on, I realised that I might be sensitive for salicylates, and Chicory root is high in those. Had to give up on this as well.

I am a big coffee drinker, but not sleeping so well, so when I get home from work I have substituted this chicory cup with coffee and it is the only one I can find that is gluten free. It tastes completely fine, I am used to it now having around three cups in the evening and sleeping better.

Good value for money. Very concentrated.

Easy to make
