Coffee Substitutes
To gradually reduce your coffee intake, add brewed coffee substitute to
regular coffee.
Coffee substitutes are made from roasted carob; grains, such as malted
barley and chicory; dried fruits, such as figs; nuts, and other ingredients. They have a dark color and
deep, rich flavor with slightly bitter overtones.
Varieties
Coffee substitutes are available in a variety of flavors in either a ready-to-brew or an
instant, powdered form. The brewing variety is more aromatic and flavorful.
Buying and storing tips
Look for coffee substitutes in the coffee and tea section of health food stores and grocery
stores. Store them, tightly sealed, in a cool, dark cupboard.
Availability
Coffee substitutes are available year-round.
Preparation, uses, and tips
If you’re trying to reduce your coffee intake, add brewed coffee substitute to
regular coffee to slowly kick the habit. Use an espresso maker for brewed coffee substitutes
with a deeper, richer flavor.
