It is great to have in hot milk in the late afternoon. No problems to sleep later.
A coffee drink without coffee beans has a long tradition here. I often had Caro as a child. The taste is similar to Ricoré. The blue flowers of the wild chicoree can be found along sides of dry roads and it is very strong snd dies not need much water. The roots are used for this.
Many years ago I took part in many herbal excursions and we tried to get some roots to make some coffee ourselfs. We all gave up. Too much hassle to get the plant out of the bone dry earth.
Last week I made coffee panna cotta and it was awesome. I checked my large tin of Ricoré coffee and thought about using it in a panna cotta too.
Recipe for 3:
200 ml whole milk
300 ml double cream
3 gelatine leaves
4 heaped tsp icing sugar
3 heaped tsp Ricoré
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
A pinch ground vanilla pod
Soak the gelatine in cold water.
Heat up milk, cream and icing sugar in a pot. Add Ricoré and vanilla extract and some ground up vanilla pod. When it starts to boil, take it off the heat. Squeeze out the gelatine and dissolve it in the hot liquid. Fill in 3 small jars and set to cool in the fridge for 3 hours.
