The Chicory root can be used as a coffee. Roast it, Grind it, brew it, Drink it.

JackCrafty:
Bob, what's your recipe for the mint tea?  I've got a bunch of it in my yard.  Last time I tried making some it had a real heavy "earthy" taste, with just a hint of mint.  Maybe I used too many leaves?

jamie:
pat the taste of mint will change depending on the soil. the best mints are peppermint and spearmint for teas. one of the best teas out there is sassafrass with maple syrup. or better yet maple sap boiled down 50 %. now thats got my mouth watering

JackCrafty:
Thanks Jamie....but why did you have to mention maple sap?  Now I'm missing NH.  There was a place in Westmoreland (?) that distilled the best syrup I've ever tasted.
