A Sensible Switch

Cup of coffee made from a coffee alternative.

I thought I would write a short blog about a sensible switch that I have made over the past year. Firstly, its my daily coffee. Now although I do sometimes drink real coffee, particularly if I’m out at a meeting or with a friend and we’re in a lovely cafe, I have managed to steer away from real coffee at home. And this is because I came across the product Barley Cup while in my local health food shop back in February.

If you want to try Barley Cup I would recommend the organic version over the others, not just because it is organic, but because it tastes more like real coffee. It also looks and feels like real coffee. It forms a lovely creamy foam when you pour the hot water on (I drink my coffee black but I’m sure it would be the same for those who take milk).

Barley Cup is an instant cereal drink, made of barley, chicory and rye. It has a wonderful aroma and really does provide a substantial coffee fix without the coffee!
