Two caffeine-free coffee alternatives: roasted chickpeas blended into powder after 20 minutes on medium heat, or roasted date seeds ground the same way. The chickpea version tastes milder, while date seeds deliver a flavor closer to real coffee.
Did you know you can make coffee without coffee, which tastes just like coffee, smells just like coffee, even looks just like coffee, but is made without any coffee?
Here are 2 coffees made with secret ingredients that will blow your mind.
Let's start with the first coffee made from chickpeas. Heat a pot and roast the chickpeas for 20 minutes on a medium flame. Stir continuously. Roast till they turn dark chocolatey brown. This is how you get the coffee flavour. Allow them to cool for 15 minutes and then blend into a powder. Say hello to your caffeine-free no-coffee powder. This one will taste a little mild. If you are looking for a more authentic coffee flavour, try the second option, which is made from date seeds. Wash the date seeds in water and dry them with a towel so they look clean like this. Now again roast them in a pot till they turn dark chocolatey brown and blend into fine powder.
Your friends might even say, this actually tastes so much like coffee.
