"Though it is an older brand - Postum has been around since 1895 - those looking for a coffee substitute continue to reach for the powdery mix. Made with wheat, wheat bran, and molasses, Postum is caffeine-free and delivers a roasted flavor that is subtly sweetened. When mixed with water or milk, Postum has a rich taste that may require some getting used to, but it is vegan-friendly, which, considering Richard's vegetarian diet, was a convenient ingredient."
"Beverage recipes aren't the only ways Postum fans have found ways to use the mix. Spoonfuls of Postum can be stirred into various dessert recipes as well as batter to make cupcakes, pancakes, and cakes, as well as dough for cookies and breads. Depending on how much Postum is added to a recipe, a roasted depth of flavor can enhance your favorite treats."
Little Richard preferred Postum in the morning instead of coffee. Postum is a powdered mix created in 1895 from wheat, wheat bran, and molasses that provides a roasted, subtly sweet flavor without caffeine. The powder mixes with hot water, milk, or milk alternatives and can be sweetened; it can be used to make hot and cold drinks, lattes, and flavored seasonal beverages. Postum is vegan-friendly but contains wheat and is not gluten-free. The mix also functions as a flavoring in baking and desserts, where spoonfuls can enrich batters, doughs, and toppings with toasted, roasted notes.
