It is very versatile, I can add it to my coffee or stand alone. It has very bold but natural chicory root flavor, no chemical aftertaste, no grounds in your mouth. It is also healthy. This is definitely for people looking for a coffee alternative that enjoy strong flavor but have problems with acid. This causes no acid and works well for my stomach. Great stuff.

Had to cut down on my coffee intake in my first trimester. This tastes very smooth with milk, much better then decaf. I love that I don't have to worry about drinking it late in the evening. I don't get enough sleep as it is, so this is a great fix. It has no sugar so I add a little maple syrup to sweeten it.

I wanted to explore alternatives to ice-tea, which I love. So I was intrigued when I saw this mix of chicory and lemon.
I mixed it with cold water, ice, and fresh lemon wedges, and I was genuinely impressed. The flavor is complex and sophisticated: the natural tartness of the lemon plays beautifully against the earthy, pleasantly bitter notes of chicory. It's the kind of drink that makes you slow down and actually taste it, not just chug it.

I've been scrutinizing labels and avoiding anything with hidden sugars. Knowing that I'm drinking something with zero sugar means no jittery energy spike followed by the inevitable afternoon slump. Unlike most beverages I've tried, this one keeps me steady throughout the day. As someone who's made a conscious effort to cut out unnecessary sugars, finding a drink this satisfying and guilt-free feels like a genuine win.

I'm so excited about this extract. The packaging was beautiful (would make a lovely gift), and the syrup delicious. I put a teaspoon in a few batches of brownies and it came out so good. I'm so excited to have it as a secret ingredient.
Put it on your vanilla ice-cream and it will add amazing coffee-like flavor without the caffeine.

I recently lost a taste for coffee, maybe because Summer is approaching and it is getting hot in Arizona. A friend recommended Chickory Root Concentrate. I decided to give it a try. I ordered cocoa and vanilla flavors. I did not really know what to expect, but after talking to my friend, it was suggested that they like to mix a ½ tsp in a cup of milk, sort of like chocolate milk. I was very amazed by how tasty it was, and how well the cocoa flavor came through. It was delicious! The Vanilla flavor was equally satisfying. At $25 (Amazon’s price) for an 8.5 oz. bottle, it seemed steep, but on the bottle, it suggested 40 servings. Which roughly breaks down to $0.62 a serving. I think you can get even less than that, as you control how much you use.

The packaging: There are pros and cons here. The two different flavors came in separate packaging but arrived on the same day, the next day. Sadly, they arrived in bubblewrap envelopes. The vanilla-flavored bottle box had been smashed (see photo). The cocoa-flavored box was fine. The bottles are made of a thicker heavy plastic. The product itself had no damage. Maybe instead of bubble-wrap envelopes, a cardboard box would present a better overall shipping experience.

Preparation: These are pretty thick concentrates, a bit thicker than Karo syrup. They came in plastic bottles with flip-top caps that allow for easy pouring into a glass or a spoon. One teaspoon per cup is plenty, and if you mix a small bit of milk and the concentrate in a large glass with a frother, you get the concentrate mixed in well, and create a milky cocoa or vanilla milk foam, and then add regular cold milk to your desired consistency. You are now your own barista with a custom-made drink, made exactly as you want it. It gives you all control and all the flavor, in a sublime experience. I am lactose intolerant, so I use lactose-free milk.

The Taste: I mixed it with cold milk, and it was superb. Overall, this chicory turned out to have a very potent flavor, so both vanilla and chocolate extracts add only a slight hint. The good thing about the concentrate is that you can make your drink as strong or light as you want. This is a solid choice for chicory.

I was very impressed and will buy this concentrate again soon. Hope this is helpful for anyone making a choice on what type of Chickory concentrate to look into. Enjoy.

I am cutting down on caffeine and I like to get my beverage ready fast. This was a great choice because I can make the concentration as strong or light as I want and it’s ready right after adding water. It’s great with milk or creamer but on it’s own it has a bit of tangy taste which is good in the morning. But most important, at 8pm I can still drink it and not worry about sleep.
