Nestlé Ricoré Soluble Chicory and Coffee Drink
What it is
Nestlé Ricoré is a soluble beverage made from a blend of roasted chicory and coffee. It offers a distinctive flavor profile that is less bitter than pure coffee, with the earthy, slightly sweet notes of chicory. This convenient powder dissolves easily in hot water or milk, making it a quick and simple option for a morning beverage or an afternoon pick-me-up. It is designed for those who enjoy the taste of coffee but prefer a milder, more nuanced flavor experience.
How people cook with it

- Morning coffee alternative
- Afternoon pick-me-up
- Base for creamy drinks
- Flavoring for desserts
To prepare, simply add one or two teaspoons of Ricoré powder to a mug. Pour in hot water or hot milk, stirring until the powder is completely dissolved. You can adjust the amount of powder to suit your taste preference for strength and flavor. For a richer experience, use hot milk instead of water. It can also be used as an ingredient in various dessert recipes, adding its unique coffee and chicory notes to cakes, cookies, and puddings. Experiment with adding a touch of sugar or a splash of cream to customize your drink.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike pure instant coffee, Ricoré offers a smoother, less acidic taste due to the inclusion of chicory root. Chicory contributes a natural sweetness and a roasted, earthy aroma that complements the coffee notes without overpowering them. This blend creates a balanced flavor that is often preferred by those who find traditional coffee too intense.
Who it is for
People who enjoy a smooth, flavorful hot beverage without the intensity of strong coffee will appreciate this drink.
How to keep the rest
After opening, store the container in a cool, dry place, tightly sealed to maintain freshness. This will help preserve the aroma and flavor of the soluble chicory and coffee blend. Ensure the lid is properly closed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect the powder's texture and solubility.
