Chicory Root Recipes

Iced Chicory Milk Swirl

This "cocktail" is a caffeine-free alternative to an iced latte, featuring the deep, woody notes of chicory root balanced by creamy milk.

Ingredients

• 1 tsp Chicory Root Concentrate

• 8 oz Whole milk (Lactose-free, Oat, etc.)

• Ice: Large cubes or crushed ice

• Garnish: A long bar spoon for stirring

Instructions

1. Prep the Glass: Fill a tall glass (highball or Collins style) about 3/4 full with fresh ice.

2. Add the Base: Pour your Chicory Root Concentrate over the ice first. If you like it sweet, stir your sweetener into the concentrate at this stage.

3. The "Swirl" Pour: Gently pour the cold milk over the top. To get the marble effect seen in your photo, pour the milk slowly over the back of a spoon.

4. Serve: Insert a long bar spoon. Serve it layered for the aesthetic, and give it a quick stir just before the first sip to marry the flavors.

Quick Tips

• The Ratio: If you prefer a stronger, more bitter profile, use a 1:2 ratio of concentrate to milk. For a smoother drink, stick to 1:3.

• Cold Foam: For an extra touch of luxury, froth the milk slightly before pouring it over the chicory.
