Southern Hostesses love to serve Cafe Du Monde Chicory Coffee because of its unique taste and Southern roots. Coffee came to North America in the mid 1700s by way of New Orleans, brought by the French as they began to settle along the Mississippi River. As coffee became scarce during their civil war, they began to experiment with chicory to add flavor to their morning brew. What is chicory? Chicory is the root of an endive plant, which is a type of lettuce. The chocolate flavor that you notice while drinking Cafe Du Monde coffee comes from the roasting and grounding of the chicory. The best way to serve Cafe Du Monde coffee is Cafe Au Lait, which is a mix of half and half and hot milk... that's the way they serve it at Cafe Du Monde in New Orleans! Obviously, it taste even better with a beignet!
