Updated: Aug 24, 2023

There are many energizing beverages in the world, Ginseng has very old roots and actually you drink them!


Today, for the blog section "Italian Coffee", let's talk about a beverage that is not originally from Italy, but is becoming increasingly popular in this country: ginseng coffee.

This unique drink is a great way to start your day with a boost of energy and flavor. Ginseng coffee is made with a combination of coffee and ginseng extract, which is known for its energizing and health benefits. It has a unique flavor that is both sweet and earthy, and it can be enjoyed hot or cold.

Making ginseng coffee at home is not easy, so this time, we won't provide a recipe for it. Instead, let's take a look at how it's made.


First, what is ginseng?

Ginseng is a perennial plant belonging to the Araliaceae family, which has fleshy roots that are harvested for their medicinal properties. An extract is obtained from these roots, which is then dried and pulverized to be mixed with other ingredients to create a variety of health-promoting products. Ginseng has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine to treat a wide range of ailments, from fatigue and stress to digestive issues and even cancer. It is also believed to have anti-aging properties, and is often used as an energy booster and to improve mental clarity.


So…How is it drunk?

A ginseng coffee typically contains milk cream, sugar, instant coffee powder, and a dry ginseng extract that has been finely ground. This combination of ingredients creates a unique flavor that is both sweet and earthy.

Ginseng offers several health benefits:

  • It's an excellent stimulant for the mind, improving vigilance, lucidity, and responsiveness.

  • It helps strengthen the immune system.

  • It has an excellent vasodilator effect, which can help improve blood circulation.

  • Some recent research suggests that ginseng may have a positive effect on reducing blood sugar.

  • It also appears to have an aphrodisiac effect on some people, although this needs to be tested thoroughly!
