Bring a saucepan of water to the boil and add the acorns.
Boil for 15 minutes until they turn a dark brown colour.
Remove from the heat and peel the acorns then cut in half. Spread the acorns out on a baking tray and place in a warm spot for 2 days to dry out.
When dried, grind the acorns in a coffee grinder until coarse then pop under the grill for 5 to 6 minutes making sure they do not burn. Remove from the heat.
To drink, mix 1 teaspoon into a cup of boiling water. Allow to steep for a minute or two then strain into a clean cup and serve as you would coffee.
Meant to taste like caramel flavoured coffee
Cheers Gamey, I'll give it a go too. I've already copied your post over to my preps folder.
