Shoreditch Chicory Coffee

Ingredients

Chicory root

2 tablespoons, ground

Hot water

1 cup

Milk

1 cup, preferably whole or oat milk for creaminess

Honey

1-2 teaspoons, to taste

Cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon, plus more for garnish

Instructions

1. Start by grinding the chicory root into a fine powder using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
2. In a saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a rolling boil.
3. Place the ground chicory powder in a coffee filter or French press. Pour the boiling water over the chicory powder and let it steep for 5 minutes to fully extract its rich flavors.
4. While the chicory is steeping, heat the milk in another saucepan over medium heat until hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching.
5. Once steeped, remove the chicory infusion from heat and strain it into a mug, discarding the grounds.
6. Stir in the honey and cinnamon into the chicory-infused water until well combined, adjusting sweetness to your preference.
7. Pour the hot milk into the mug and gently stir to combine all the flavors.
8. Garnish with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon on top for a touch of elegance and serve hot. Enjoy the comforting warmth of your Shoreditch Chicory Coffee!
