Cooley, London, 1856.&nbsp; They were used alone or mixed with real  coffee.&nbsp; If larger than regular  coffee-berries, they are cut into dice about the same size as coffee-berries  before roasting.&nbsp; All of the suggestions  below are roasted before grinding, with a little fat or peanut oil. <\/p>\n<p> <strong>Acorn coffee:<\/strong> from acorns, shelled, husked, dried,  and roasted.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Almond coffee:<\/strong> rye or wheat roasted along with a few  almonds; a very small amount of cassia buds improves it. (A good stimulant)<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Bean coffee:<\/strong> Horse-beans roasted along with a little  honey or sugar.&nbsp; Add a small amount of  cassia buds.&nbsp; Also called Jack bean,  Canavalia ensiformis.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Beech-mast coffee:<\/strong> from beech-masts or nuts. (very  wholesome)<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Beet-root coffee:<\/strong> from the yellow beet-root, sliced,  dried in kiln or oven, and ground with a little foreign coffee.&nbsp; (a good substitute)<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Currant coffee:<\/strong> from the seeds washed out of the  cask left in making currant wine.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Dandelion coffee:<\/strong> the roasted root, in England, was  a popular substitute.&nbsp; It is prepared  like coffee.<\/p>\n<p> (roasted dandelion root has almost a magic-like  effect on milk.&nbsp; Steep 1 heaping tsp. of  the root in 1 cup of hot (not boiling) milk.&nbsp;  Steep for 5-10 minutes and strain.&nbsp;  Sweeten if desired.&nbsp; The resultant  liquid tastes like rich cream, of course with far less calories.&nbsp; Try this on breakfast cereals, you will love  it.&nbsp; Also, try dandelion milk in your  favorite recipes where milk is an ingredient.&nbsp;  An addition of 1\/4 tsp. of powdered licorice gives dandelion milk a  pleasant tang.)<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Egyptian coffee:<\/strong> from chick-peas; called garbanzos  by the Spanish.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>German coffee:<\/strong> from roasted roots of chicory.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Gooseberry coffee:<\/strong> from gooseberry seeds.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Luppin coffee<\/strong>: from roasted lupine seeds.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Rice coffee:<\/strong> from roasted rice.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Rye coffee:<\/strong> Rye roasted along with a little butter,  and ground to powder. (a good substitute)<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Rosetta coffee:<\/strong> from fenugreek seeds moistened with  lemon juice.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Sylvester&rsquo;s coffee:<\/strong> Iris coffee; The seed of the  gladiolus luteus, Iris pseudacornus, or yellow water flag.&nbsp; Said to be the best substitute known.<\/p>\n<p> <strong>Turner&rsquo;s coffee:<\/strong> broom coffee. from broom seeds  roasted with a little butter.<br \/>\n  <a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Uses\">Uses<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Some researchers believe there is a connection  between coffee and glaucoma.&nbsp; Therefore,  some doctors forbid coffee to glaucoma patients.&nbsp; Coffee has been suggested in relieving the  pain of migraine headache.&nbsp;  Migraine or any other type of throbbing headache usually stems from  engorged blood vessels.&nbsp; Strong coffee  helps to shrink the vessels.&nbsp; 1-2 cups of  strong coffee has enough of a good effect to offset the jitters from the  caffeine.&nbsp; In severe attacks with nausea  and vomiting, sometimes relief can be obtained by cooling a cup of coffee and  taking it very slowly as an enema, retaining it as long as possible. <\/p>\n<p> As absurd as it may sound: if sleep disturbance is  attributable to overly low blood pressure and flow of blood to the brain is  reduced, a cup of coffee, sweetened with honey and taken just before bedtime,  will help!&nbsp; (not recommended for  diabetics)&nbsp; Coffee improves the cerebral  blood supply, and honey provides plenty of glucose.&nbsp; Glucose deficiency in the brain can be a  cause of sleep disturbances.<\/p>\n<p> Older people who wake up at night and can&rsquo;t go back  to sleep for hours, also find eating a piece of chocolate helpful, or even  better, a piece of hard (sugar) candy; sleep will not be long in coming (not  recommended for diabetics).<\/p>\n<p> Coffee can damage your health.&nbsp; The caffeine is a vasodilator and people  living on the edge of their nerves already, can push their bodies too far and  create a health hazard to themselves.&nbsp;  The coffee can be prepared in a much less harmful way than the coffee  made and used in Europe and America.&nbsp;  Coffee served in Arabic lands reduce the stimulating and insomniac  effects.&nbsp; They do not keep it roasted and  ground but prepare it when the guests arrive.&nbsp;  They roast the beans and grind them shortly before use, bring the ground  coffee rapidly to a boil, let it bubble briefly, and pour a little cold water  over the froth to settle.&nbsp; Then it is  served very strong and thick with plenty of sugar.<\/p>\n<p> Use coffee only if your nervous system is in good  working order; sensitive or nervous people should leave coffee alone.<br \/>\n  <a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Links\">Resource Links<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/medicinalherbinfo.org\/000Herbs2016\/2024\/12\/31\/discover-the-medicinal-benefits-of-coffee\/\" target=\"_blank\">Discover the Medicinal Benefits of Coffee<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.livestrong.com\/article\/295969-amount-of-calories-in-coffee\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">LiveStrong.com: Amount of Calories in Coffee<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.calorieking.com\/foods\/calories-in-coffees-ground-coffee_f-Y2lkPTEwNzAmYmlkPTEmZmlkPTY5NTExJmVpZD02MDI1OTU4OTImcG9zPTImcGFyPSZrZXk9Y29mZmVl.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">CalorieKing: Coffee<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nal.usda.gov\/fnic\/foodcomp\/cgi-bin\/list_nut_edit.pl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">USDA Nutritional Database: Coffee Brewed from Grounds<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.almanac.com\/news\/natural-health-home-tips\/coffee?trk_msg=E5PC2170O4SK33G54D00G1RPE4&#038;trk_contact=OH8DJH6TCIVUMMNB9BF7L7J2MO&#038;trk_sid=OM7JAUVO5VM3E3KCFP8Q47EQVS&#038;utm_source=Listrak&#038;utm_medium=Email&#038;utm_term=15+Uses+for+Coffee+and+Coffee+Grounds+(read+more)&#038;utm_campaign=Companion+Daily\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Old Farmer&#8217;s Almanac: 15 Uses for Coffee and Coffee Grounds<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Bibliography\">Bibliography<\/a><\/h3>\n<p><i><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/0395988144\/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=9325&#038;creativeASIN=0395988144&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;tag=medherinf-20&#038;linkId=X7ZTSHWQ2N4GVWXT\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/medicinalherbinfo.org\/000Herbs2016\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/buyit.gif\" width=41 height=16 border=0 alt=\"Buy It!\"> Eastern\/Central Medicinal Plants<\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=medherinf-20&#038;l=as2&#038;o=1&#038;a=0395988144\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" style=\"border:none !important;
