Traditional Maltese Coffee Mix with Chicory 400g

Our unique recipe of select raw beans and spices celebrates Maltese Traditions and revives a taste so rife in the past.

Chicory has long time been used in many cultures as a coffee substitute, especially when coffee is difficult to get. But chicory is still used today to make coffee bolder, adding an element that even the expensive coffee blends can’t achieve.

A mere teaspoon of  chicory added to the coffee grounds is said to greatly improve the flavour, and it’ll plain coffee into a more full bodied cup.

Ingredients:

Ground Coffee 98%, Chicory, Aniseed and Cloves.

Method of preparation:

You would need an espresso pot or a coffee percolator. Place 5 tablespoons of our ready-made mixture of Maltese coffee in the pot. Fill the boiler with water and leave for about 30mins. When placing this mixture in your pot, press the coffee with the back of a spoon. The tighter you press the coffee the tastier the coffee will filter. Once it is ready pour into a mug and serve it while it is hot. One can add some orange or tangerine zest but this is completely optional.

Storage:

Store in a cool and dry place.
