Alternative to Coffee

I drink a lot of coffee, which I have no issue with, but other people it seems have, as they are always questioning my daily intake, and stating that maybe I should cut back. The thing is why, I like coffee, I drink it all day everyday, and trust me you do not want to encounter me without coffee seeping through my system.

I was emailed a link for alternative coffee recipes, and before hitting the delete button I thought I would take a look. Not because I had any intention of drinking an alternative, but for research purposes. There were some ridiculous recipes, including Dandelion Coffee.

Now to be honest I have never seen a dandelion here, and if I did I would use them to wishes and release fairies, not to drink and pretend it was coffee. How can anyone make a pot of these presumably green sludge and claim that it is an alternative to coffee.

That would be like eating an apple, and claiming it was an alternative to a chocolate eclair! Anyway for anyone that wants to try the "alternative" here is the recipe, enjoy and please let me know what it is like...
