Easy French Press Chicory Dandelion Coffee
Deeply earthy with the complex, roasted bitterness of traditional coffee, this caffeine-free brew hits all the right morning notes. Roasted chicory and dandelion root powders combine with a touch of warming cinnamon for a robust, full-bodied drink. You'll love how easily it steeps in a standard French press. Top it off with frothed oat milk and a drizzle of maple syrup when you're craving a cozy, jitter-free start to your day.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (480 ml) water
- 1½ tablespoons roasted chicory root powder
- 1 teaspoon roasted dandelion root powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- 1Bring the water to a rolling boil in a small saucepan.
- 2Place the roasted chicory root powder, roasted dandelion root powder, and ground cinnamon into a French press.
- 3Pour the boiling water into the French press and stir the mixture well. Place the lid on top without pressing the plunger down.

- 5Pour the brewed drink into mugs. Stir in your preferred plant milk, sweetener, and any extra flavorings like cocoa powder or vanilla extract.
Notes
- Make ahead: Mix a larger batch of the dry chicory, dandelion, and cinnamon ahead of time. Store it in an airtight jar for quicker mornings.
- Flavor variations: Try adding a half teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, a splash of vanilla extract, or a dash of cayenne pepper to your mug.
- Serving: Frothed oat milk and a drizzle of maple syrup pair perfectly with the earthy notes of the chicory.
