Iced Black Jack Kaffree Roma
This non-GMO coffee substitute, Kaffree Roma Roasted Grain Beverage, makes a delightful summer iced drink. The flavors in this recipe remind me of black licorice or Black Jack gum. It is absolutely addicting!

- 2 tsp Kaffree Roma
- 1 tsp molasses
- 3 Tbsp brown sugar

* I have used Kaffree Roma for many years, and I love it. Recently, I received a sample of this product from Atlantic Natural Foods, and in the interest of full disclosure, I have used it in this recipe.
