Need a tasty coffee alternative

[Guest guest]

Good morning! I am wondering if any of you have found

a tasty morning beverage that you could share. I'm

realizing I drink WAY too much coffee! I've given it

up successfully in the past, but replaced it with

Postum, Inca, etc., which are roasted chickory and

barley. Now that I'm gluten-free, those are no longer

options.

I do like teas, but that's more of a night-time

beverage for me.

Any good bold-flavored roasted beverage ideas?

Thanks so much in advance.

-Mary

I drink teeccino. They have had there product tested, and when it is brewed

there is no gluten in it, even though there is Barely. They have a whole thing

on it on there website.

 

www.teeccino.com

 

They even say on there packageing, " Brewed teeccino is glutne-free. "

 

They have many different flavors, we all love them. The ingredients on the

mocha are: roasted carob, barley, chicory root, dates, almonds, natural mocha

flavor, figs and cocoa.

 

They claim a lot of healthy benifits from there product. Neither of my family

members who have celiac have had any problems with it.

Another option I just heard about is Dandy Blend. www.dandyblend.com

I haven't tried it yet, but I have friends who prefer this brand over

Teecchino when they made their switch from coffee.

I wouldn't trust it. They're probably testing for gliadin/wheat

gluten and not testing at all for hordein. If there is barley, it IS

NOT SAFE.

Although it is a tea, I enjoy Matcha green tea. It is in powder form and it

actually tastes nothing like green tea. It is " thicker " more fulfilling

beverage for morning drink. And, it is really high in antioxidant.

 

It is kind of expensive so if you can find it in bulk, that is the best way to

buy it.

This sounds really interesting. I checked out the website, and there are two

places close to me that carry it. I am going to check it out.

Here are the answers from the websites:

 

Celiacs and gluten intolerant

Dandy Blend is gluten-free, according to tests conducted by Elisa Technologies

Laboratory .The process by which all the extracts are made uses only water, and

gluten is not water soluble, so it stays behind.. What you get is all the

nutrition from the barley and rye, but none of starch or gluten

 

Does Teeccino contain any gluten? "

Although Teeccino contains barley, an independent laboratory at the University

of Nebraska that specializes in gluten testing found no detectable levels of

gluten in Teeccino. Althought gluten is present in barley, it most likely does

not extract out of the barley using conventional coffee brewing techniques.

Gluten is not extracted by boiling water although it can be extracted using

ethanol alcohol, which of course is not present in Teeccino.

I just checked in Gluten-Free Diet by Shelley Case, which I should have done

before posting before. She says coffee substitutes are foods to question.

Roasted chicory is the most common coffee substitute and is GF. Others are

derived from gluten-containing grains.

I love to order tea from Upton Tea Company

http://www.uptontea.com/shopcart/home.asp They certainly have matcha (I've

never tried it but now you've got me curious). I like the Baker street blend

for a really hearty, smoky black tea. Can't imagine having it at night time!

 

It's hard to give up coffee, isn't it! It make my tummy hurt, so I drink it

very seldom now--once in a while when I've been pain free for a long time I

risk a cup. I really miss it. (I don't risk gluten...)

There is a tea called Roastorama, something like that, by one of the

mainstram tea companies. It is a dark tea, with that roasted flavor. It is

caffeine free. Add a little milk and sweetener if you like, and it might

satisfy your morning taste buds.

There is NO test commercially available that detects the proteins in

barley in a drink (there are some very expensive tests that are done

in research labs that do protein separation, but no food manufacturer

uses them).

 

The ELISA test they no doubt used only looks for the protein in wheat.

Not having it in a barley drink does not mean it contained no gluten.

Their claim is easy - there being no legal standard, they can claim it

for anything they want (at least in the US - barley can't be labeled

as GF under any circumstances in some countries and with others the

testing is quite expensive and very little actually qualifies -- even

barley malt has been removed from the " safe " list in the UK and it

would have much smaller amounts of protein than this drink, especially

at the low levels used in cereals).

[Guest guest]

That one is rye and barley based.

 

Just because an ELISA test (which they mis-spell on the web site)

detects no wheat gliadin does not make it gluten free.

The tests only look for wheat.

 

Even if you believed there was no gluten in the tea it makes -- it is

very high in the grounds themselves. Anyone that has played with

coffee out of a pod knows that they don't stay neatly in the

container, so every bit of it will be a gluten hazard in your kitchen

(and on you hand after handling it, on your kitchen wipe/sponge after

wiping down, etc).

Thanks. I guess I'll pass on those products.

I have cut down on my coffee consumption by allowing myself 1 small cup

in the morning and if I am dying for something hot ( it is cold here)

by early afternoon I have awake tea. I tried green but it sometimes

gave me a headache. anyway I have cut down from 4 large cups a day to 1

small and 1 large tea a day sometimes baby steps are better.

Baby steps worked for me.

Try to find Rooibos tea from South Africa, it is

better and more healthier than even green tea. Here

are a couple links about the tea.

Hello Mary;

 

I too used to drink a lot of coffee! I worked in an office, and when

I

worked at my desk I could smoke and drink as much as I wanted as long

as it didn't interfere with my clients (if they smoked it made it

easier for me too.) Smoking and drinking seemed to go hand in hand.

I

remember drinking coffee that was sooooo black that I thought my

spoon

would dissolve in my cup. Yuck! Then, I quit smoking, hooray! Then I

became pregnant with twins. I didn't want them to be coffee addicts

or

alcoholics so I quit for their sake.

 

My husband's grandfather was a very dear man. When we went to visit

him, he would offer us a cup of hot, or warm water instead of

coffee.

At first we thought, yuck, who could drink just plain hot water.

Guess

what! The first thing we do each morning now is reach for the kettle

and pour a couple of cups of hot water for each of us. Then we chase

it down with a pinch of celtic sea salt. (It really helps to

rehydrate

our bodies too!) To me, it's very refreshing, especially knowing

that

my body is now getting what it needs and not what it used to crave.

I

have never craved coffee since. Now I drink warm or hot water or

herbal teas and I am totally satisfied! Praise the Lord!
