Chicory isn’t just an add-in — it gives coffee a deeper, more intense flavor. ☕️ In the past, when coffee beans were hard to find, people mixed roasted chicory root into their brews to stretch supplies and make the flavor stronger. Some people used only ground chicory or chicory extract combined with hot water as a coffee substitute. A simple old-school trick that still works today. #coffeehistory #chicory #coffeetips #homecoffee #morningcoffee | Cestari Kitchen
