Known for its robust, roasted flavor, chicory root is most commonly used to make a caffeine-free coffee substitute with a similar taste to coffee but with less stimulation. You can also enhance regular coffee with chicory for a richer, nutty flavor. To prepare as a tea, steep 1 tsp. of chicory root in 8 oz. of boiling water for 3-5 minutes, then strain and serve.
