How should chicory be used?

The advantage of Leroux Chicory drinks is that they can be drunk with milk, soya milk or water. In this way, chicory retains its mild, gourmet flavour and can be adapted to your every need, as a hot or cold milk drink, prepared with water or as an infusion.

Leroux products, just as good with milk or water

It’s not always easy to enjoy a delicious hot drink without milk or other stimulants. But Leroux Chicory makes it possible! Plain Soluble Chicory, Caramel Chicory, Cocoa Chicory and even Liquid Chicory can be prepared with either milk or water. All you have to do is choose the format – in a cup, mug, tumbler, glass or bowl – and all you have to do is adjust the doses! The basic dose is 2.5 grams of chicory, the equivalent of a stick of Chicorée Soluble Nature, for 125ml of liquid.

Infusing chicory
Granulated chicory can also be used as an infusion. Simply add 1 to 2 teaspoons of seeded chicory to 250ml of hot water for 5 minutes (in a tea ball, for example). Or make a decoction, using the same dosage, bring to the boil for 5 minutes, then filter through a coffee or tea filter. The seeds will diffuse into your drink, giving it a sweet, caramelised flavour, making it an ideal all-day drink. This is a common practice in Africa, where Chicory Grains are diluted in 20 litre pots of hot water, then sold by the cup.
