Non-coffee alternatives
Last fall I gave up coffee & caffeine for health reasons. I started drinking roasted chicory & barley as a substitute. I enjoyed it a lot, however it has gluten and caused different issues. I have since gone back to decaf but have found that it causes b.o. . I'd love to find another alternative. I just enjoy my hot coffee in the morning.

Re: Non-coffee alternatives
Have you ever tried roasted dandelion tea? It’s caffeine free and reminds me of coffee.

Re: Non-coffee alternatives
This is on my list to try. https://www.amazon.com/COFFIG-Ground...71&sr=8-5&th=1
I use this. It does have some caffeine in it, though. "Crio Bru is 99.9% caffeine free with 10-15mg caffeine- about as much as decaf coffee. No. Crio contains a natural stimulant from the cacao bean called theobromine and it is not addictive. Brewed cacao is near to pH Neutral (6.4 - 6.8) and is significantly less acidic than coffee." https://www.amazon.com/Crio-Bru-Subs...8-2-spons&th=1

Re: Non-coffee alternatives
My daughter bought me some Apple Cider a month ago and then she heated it up and added just a touch of cinnamon. It was really comforting.

Re: Non-coffee alternatives
Teeccino- it comes in all sorts of different flavors, can be brewed like tea (in bags) or like coffee (grounds in a pot). There are certified GF varieties. It's pretty tasty.
I drink Roma and Pero occasionally, too but I think they are both made from barley. (Roma is for sure; I just checked. I don't have any Pero in the pantry.) There's another brand at my local Whole Foods, but I can't remember off hand what it is. It might be GF. Is chicory gluten-free? Because straight chicory is available on Amazon. Tea just doesn't do it for me when I want coffee.

Re: Non-coffee alternatives
Are you trying to avoid caffeine?
Oolong tea has an almost coffee flavor. I don't think I've ever seen decaf oolong, though, but I haven't looked for it, either. Another vote for rooibos! I drink tons of green and black tea. But I also love chamomile, rooibos, jasmine, and especially tulsi/holy basil. |

Re: Non-coffee alternatives
This thread is blasphemy.
But oolong whole leaf tea comes in many flavors and is wonderful with some good honey. |

I'm not a huge fan of tea for the most part. The best I've found, and it doesn't always do it for me, is decaf Chocolate Hazelnut Black Tea. I think it's from Stash.
