Coffee anyone ?

[Mini Horses]

OOOOHHHH.....does this mean DH wasn't a coffee drinker?

So there's the caffeine "boost" most of us want but, I like the taste, as well. While I can go without it, not what I want to do right now. You either, probably. Alternative hot drinks. No caffeine...no acids...no fun - oh, wait, that last one isn't part of the RX, right?

Check into hot cocoa with carob, not chocolate? Carob has no caffeine. Geesh, gotta be something out there! I notice on my Hot chocolate box there is no mention of caffeine and we know there is some. So googled it...

1 cup brewed coffee 95mg
1 cup decaf coffee 2-12mg
1 cup black tea 47mg
1 cup green tea 25mg
1 cup hot chocolate 5mg

Of course...can vary with strength of brew.

Add carob powder and stir until blended completely. Add milk and honey and heat until hot but not boiling. Pour hot spiced carob into mugs and sprinkle with cinnamon and cardamom. Add dollops of whipped cream on top, if you like

Then..chicory…

Sure there must be something else....I just googled these.

Glad to see you posting again. So, how long est for no caffeine drinks? Water is great but, in AM I want a little more! Fresh goat milk is good. I drink a lot of that!

Chocolate is listed separate from caffeine on my “don’t” list. I miss chocolate. I need caffeine to get going. I love the taste of coffee. I used to warm up of an evening with a cup of decaf.

Length is the rest of my life....

Wondering about broth personally.

Also talked to a couple doctors at work over the weekend and have a few things that I need to trial and/or make appts to explore. I’ll update y’all as I find out more.

FOREVER ?? That seems unkind. I mean, once ulcers heal...maybe decaf? Just not right! Not like no wine for an alcoholic...understand that. Sorry.

I was going to suggest broth. It's hot and it tastes good.

I’m missing my coffee. No longer withdrawing. Need to send my stuff to my parents so it doesn’t go stale and the temptation won’t exist any longer.

I’m officially drinking only water. Any suggestions of warm drinks that don’t contain caffeine, nothing acidic or citrus, or chocolate...

Hot uh... milk.... uh...... with honey?

@Wehner Homestead no coffee forever? Oh no! I hope not.

Any suggestions of warm drinks that don’t contain caffeine, nothing acidic or citrus, or chocolate...

How about some ginger "tea"? In the Chinese culture, ginger is the go-to home remedy "medicine" for a lot of ailments, especially for stomach problems and easing nausea. It also helps warm your body.
You get some ginger, peel it, then smash it(like smashing garlic) or you can cut it or chop it. Simmer the ginger in water for about an hour, drain it and you can drink it with or without honey/sugar.

Coffee is ready. And some broth fro @Wehner Homestead I have bacon and eggs too!

 

[RollingAcres]

Thanks for coffee @Baymule

Bacon, Wilbur?

Somehow bacon, eggs and broth just doesn't sound all that appetizing.

I updated on my journal but I don’t know that everyone has read it...I don’t have an ulcer. I had a scope done to check things out and I have bile reflux. It’s a whole other world of issues. Definitely quite the pill to swallow literally...like 6 a day right now!
