Grandma’s Chicory (Aka Chill the Fuck Out) Potion

Chicory/Belgian endive reminds me of my grandmother. It was always sitting there on the shelf and she would make it every morning without fail. I used to think she was so weird. It wasn’t until I was much older that I understood chicory, and that her weirdness was, in fact, her wisdom.

Chicory is a plant that looks after the liver. Combined with ashwagandha, it helps to soothe the nervous system – calmness in a mug. I sip this potion when I’m trying to sleep after a wild night out.
