Alternative Beverage "Coffee Substitute"
2 cups water1 Tbs roasted chicory root
1 Tbs dried dandelion root (not roasted)
1/2 tsp cardamon seed (should be out of the husk, but not ground)
Put water in a pan. Add roasted chicory root, dandelion root, and cardamon seed. Simmer gently 10 minutes. Strain and enjoy. I have found this is pretty pleasant to drink. No it doesn't taste exactly like coffee but it is dark and tasty and pretty good for you.
