I love coffee. I drink the better part of two pots a day. My wife usually has a cup from each pot, and I finish the rest. It isn't so much the caffeine, I think I got numbed to that years ago, but after a decade in the service and another 20 years plus working nights at jobs with a coffee mess, it's pretty much a part of life. There are no coffee varieties that grow here in Tennessee, so this is an item we have to purchase outside the home.
Has anybody found a substitute beverage they can produce on their home? I've heard of chicory - anyone drinking that instead? Comfrey tea? Sassafrass tea? I think it's more a matter of something to sip on throughout the day. We don't drink pop, warm or hot water doesn't appeal. I had to quit drinking 25 years ago, and coffee was the only thing I could slug down all day like booze, without getting bloated or a gross stomach.
I'd be interested to hear what your locally produced beverage of choice is. Also, maybe something that is tasty cold, like tea, for the summer? I'm not a big tea drinker, but we live in the land of sweet tea, so I have adapted.
Regards,
Pat
