Servings: 2
Ingredients
- Chicory root
- 2 tablespoons, ground
- Hot water
- 2 cups
- Milk
- 1/4 cup, or to taste
- Sugar
- 1 teaspoon, or to taste
Instructions
- Grind the chicory root into a fine powder using a coffee grinder. This releases the root's robust, earthy flavors.
- Bring the water to a boil in a kettle or saucepan.
- Place the ground chicory root in a coffee filter or French press. The choice is yours, but a French press will give you a more robust flavor.
- Pour the hot water over the chicory. Allow it to steep for 5 minutes to extract the full flavor of the chicory.
- Remove the coffee filter or press down the French press plunger. This separates the liquid from the grounds and leaves you with a smooth, rich coffee.
- Stir in the milk and sugar to your liking. Some prefer their chicory coffee black, while others enjoy the creaminess that milk provides.
- Serve hot, sit back, and enjoy the rich flavors of your homemade Soviet-era chicory coffee.
