Nature's Roast

I’m really missing New Orleans for some reason as Mardi Gras nears, so I’m indulging in assorted on-theme treats. I couldn’t leave tea (or in this case, a tisane) out of the equation! This ground roasted chicory root from a New Orleans-based company perfectly hits the spot. It’s nutty, with a bit of an almost chocolatey note. It has just a bit of sharpness or acidity, just enough to be reminiscent of coffee. While I liked it just fine straight, I ended up adding oat milk for a creamier take. All that’s missing now are the beignets…
