Coffee for you

not Coffee

There are several plants that can be used to make a ‘coffee-like’ drink using their roots, leaves or seeds. Dandelion root coffee is made from roasted and ground dandelion roots, and is an excellent substitute for regular coffee. Chicory root coffee is another popular alternative, made using the roots of the chicory plant.
