Is there a good coffee substitute with no caffeine, which actually tastes like coffee?
I know what you mean – you want a substitute coffee – not another drink that has all kinds of sugar and flavorings in it. It is very hard to find a substitute that actually tastes like coffee. The one I have now is Pero Instant natural beverage – contains only malted barley, barley and chicory. It is the chicory that makes it taste something like coffee. There is another brand that has more chicory in it but I can not remember it’s name. I think it is a little better. What I do is put a scoop of the Pero in a cup and a small amt of decaf coffee (if you can at least have a dab of it) and that seems to do the trick for me. What I used to love in place of coffee was Postum but they discontinued making it awhile back which is a shame. Oh, I bought the Pero (and the other brand whose name I can not remember) at either Whole foods or Trader Joe’s.
