Roasting Chicory For Coffee
Vložit
- čas přidán 6. 10. 2015
- Did you know that chicory root makes a great coffee alternative? Or added to coffee grounds it helps to stretch your coffee just a bit further.
You'll recognize the blue flowers of the chicory plant throughout summer, but it is during the fall when it's best to dig the roots. Try to do it after a rain as the roots run deep and can be much easier to pull up. And get ready for your kitchen to smell great while it's roasting! Chicory is caffeine free so enjoy a cup or two!

Chicory is super invasive in BC. I like finding ways to use the plants I pick during my patrols, so thank you!
I roast it as I need it for five minutes in a hot-air popcorn popper. Works great. Got the idea from how some coffee roasters use hot air to roast their coffee beans.
What a great idea!!
My German grandma used to make chickory coffee especially during the depression and ww2. I have an instant mix from Germany and it's pretty good and it has like roasted wheat etc. but I want to roast the chickory myself and use it. Thank you for this nice video.
Your sink looks like mine. Thank you for the sharing.
Looking forward to having a cup o' chickory joe. Jesus bless you.
Great video! Thanks for the tutorial! Would love to see what the final product looks like or how you brew it! 🤍☕️
I got hooked on chicory coffee while in Louisiana. I have always bought it and never paid attention to what it was made from. I can't believe I could be growing my own. I need to look up some seeds to start next Spring. Thanks for the share!!
+Melody Capehart Medina Chicory grows wild pretty well. May want to look around your property as you may have some already. Glad you liked the video :)
Chicory is an incredibly common road shoulder weed. I would never waste effort or garden space growing it.
Our highway dept. planted along entrances so beautiful and now it spread to our yards ....
@@michaelpriest6242 Do Not pick it from the road shoulders, weed sprays, road tars/oi and car exhaust contaminate roadside Chicory plants/roots.
Just started checking into this! Thanku,I'm gonna try it!😉👍
You have the most beautiful hands and pleasant voice! I live in Southwest Michigan and have a lot of chicory growing every where! I also have a antique cast iron coffee grinder that I plan to use for the grinding that was my Grandmothers. My Mother always told me that coffee ground with a cast iron grinder has a better flavor. 😊
Awesome and quick! Thanks. Still useful 5 years later haha
I haven't tried chicory root yet, it sounds yummy. Thanks for making the video! :)
This video gives me an understanding about where we got chicory and how these plants does looks. Thanks for putting this video. I will try to cultivate this in my village, in India.
You can make Tincture from Chicory root too
This grows all over up here. I've had it in store bought herbal teas, but I trust harvesting my own. Thanks for the info, and just in time for fall. :D
I'm glad you found it useful!
VERY. :)
Who here for we happy few coffee😂
Thank you sweet lady, love from GB ❤️, I just bought chicory root and need to roast it

Good information. Never thought to do this. I may have to try it. Thanks for sharing.
+MyHomesteadingProject Thanks for watching!
Big Cutco knife. I’ve had mine for over thirty years.
Thank you so much!
Great video. Thanks!
Wow; wonderful video! :) My mother grew up drinking chicory enhanced coffee, and always remembers it so fondly, so I was interested to experiment with it myself. I'm so surprised that that particular plant is where it comes from, because it's very bountiful (and gorgeous!) where I grew up. Thanks for the great video! :)
I'm happy to help :)
Thank you for. A informative video.
Well you have a new subscriber. I have been wanting to try this. I found my first plant along the side of the road. There was only one so I didn't dig up the roots. I left it alone. Then the county came by the next day and cut the side of the road. But I found some more but I didn't know when to dig it up. Now I know. I will wait a month before I dig it up. Thanks for the great informing video. It doesn't grow that much around the U.P.
Thanks for subscribing. If you don't get much up there you can always combine it with dandelion root. That was very common "way back when". Better tasting than the burnt acorn "coffee", too. Lol
I tried the acorn coffee and even made acorn cookies. ( you can't put enough chocolate chips in them to drown out the acorn taste. Lol). As for the coffee it wasn't too bad.
thank you, very helpful
Awesome! I am going to grow this plant, and, use it in new Tea blends that I am going to concoct !!!!!! For my "French" Press.

+dirtpatcheaven I'm glad you liked it!
I mix with chaga. Gives it a creamy taste.
thank you so much for doing this! I've always wanted to try it and had no clue how to~ but I do now :)
I grind Mine in a blender. Then I lay it out on a tray And put it in the oven to roast it doesn't take long. Then I put it in my coffee grinder.
They sell coffee with chicory around here in Louisiana like you said. Best wishes Bob.
+Bob Lt Do you like it? Thanks for watching!
Thank you for informative vidio
Thanks for the info about chicory nice vid! Keep it up btw Im inlove with this barlico coffee right now coz im trying to get rid of caffeine u know btw watching from philippines❤
I've heard of this before but was never sure how it was done. Thank you!
+Suttons Daze You're welcome! :)
Good video. However, I would recommend brushing the dirt off the roots outside. Don't really want to rinse all that dirt down the kitchen sink, wouldn't be great for the pipes.
Loved this! Glad I found your channel! I just subscribed. 😊
I'm glad to help and thanks for subbing ☺
can you mix dandelion and chicory root for coffee?
Yes you can! 😁
It contains inulin. A very Good blod sugar level regulator. Research inulin.
Thank you I never knew that chicory was roots. I always thought that it were seeds.
❤
How would you roast it at a campsite ?
Thanks for the video! We found a baby cricket in our house and are raising it for fun. We read that they really like chicory, and I'd always heard of chicory, but never tried it as a hot drink. So now we're killing two birds with one stone, but hopefully not the cricket, and I've dug up some local chicory. Fed some to the cricket, the rest is for eating and brewing.
One question, I read that you want to harvest chicory root before or after flowering. Have you heard that before?
Also, apparently you can eat the leaves in salad in moderation. Supposedly bitter but healthy. I'm going to try that later.
Thanks!
I think it would depend on what part of the plant you're looking to harvest. Above ground parts are usually more tender before flowering. Roots are usually harvested after flowering or at the end of the season to ensure larger/longer roots. Hope this helps!
Thank you I will try this. Btw how can we get the seeds of chicory?
You may find one or two seed companies that sell them otherwise just wait until the flower heads die off and collect the seed then.
I didn't get to try this last fall😞 so how different would it be if I did it at this time of year?
Go ahead and try it. It's better than not getting it at all.
After you crunch it, just pour some hot water like making ordinary coffee?
Do you have brewing ratios that work? How much chicory root do I use with how much water?
Similar as coffee. To taste.
With my spiking sugar[too much rice ], this should help control it...will plant around the house, TFS.
Wrong roasting time at 300 degree at a hour and a half you will burn it up..😮
Thank you!
