hey wisdom holders :shy:
..my housemate just made this drink from an instant jar...called Caro. pretty nice actually. she said its made from rye???????
just curious...as to what it is...if its bad...if its veg., ...and all the rest. i keep 'googling' it but it just comes up with prices and the fact that its 0 caffeine??

hmmmmm :think: mysterious....yet tasty.

oo ok thank you!! Yeah i just wondered how it ended up looking like instant coffee but somehow lacking the chemicals of instant coffee...? unlikely...eheheh. but then again on instant coffee it just says 'coffee beans' doesn't it? even though everybody knows they do stuff to make it..well..'instant' i think?
hmm. nevermind. and thank you! at least its no dairy and what not.
