The History of New Orleans Coffee:

Straight from New Orleans, this drink was born in the city's cafes in the 19th century. At that time, the Civil War prevented coffeehouses from finding sufficient quantities of coffee to meet demand, so chicory was used to expand supplies. Since then, the mixture has become emblematic of New Orleans gastronomic culture (maybe less than okra , but still!)

The properties of New Orleans Coffee
