How should the drink be prepared, and what does it go best with?

Instant chicory is simple to prepare: the powder is dissolved in hot water. Nothing needs to be brewed or steeped — this is one of the practical advantages of the instant form over ground chicory or herbal blends. The drink is handy to keep at home or at work, or to take with you when travelling.

The flavour can be adjusted to your preferences:

• With milk or a plant-based drink (oat, almond, soya) — softens the flavour and makes the drink richer, closer to a latte.
• With sugar or a sweetener — if you want a sweet version; the tartness of rosehip goes well with sweetness.
• Without additions — if you like the pure taste of chicory with a fruity note.

The strength can also be adjusted by the amount of powder: less gives a lighter drink, more gives a richer one. Specific proportions are given on the pack — use them as a starting point and adjust to taste.
