French Press Chicory Dandelion Coffee
This caffeine-free beverage offers a satisfying alternative to your morning cup of joe. Roasted chicory and dandelion root powders combine to create a deeply flavored, earthy drink with the complex bitterness of traditional coffee. A touch of ground cinnamon adds warmth to the brew. It is easy to prepare in a standard French press and tastes wonderful topped with frothed oat milk and a drizzle of maple syrup.
