My mom used to be a 2-pot-a-day drinker, but for some reason my stomach growls and grumbles if I drink more than one cup.<br /><br />As for substitutes for your hubby, can you guys get "Postum" in South Africa (on the web, maybe?)... it's a lovely coffee-esque drink made from malt grains. Just add hot water to the granules, and then add milk and sugar to taste. I don't think it's got a bit of caffeine in it, but it gives you all the pleasures (warmth, nice taste, etc.) that coffee does.<br /><br />As for his headaches... perhaps if he slowly weaned off the full strength coffee by adding a bit of decaf coffee to his cup, then slowly increasing the amount of decaf day by day until it's all decaf? Going cold turkey with caffeine quitting can be a bit much for some folks.<br /><br />Enjoy your rooibos! 8-)Marchelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11201825708442679157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25059881.post-51017972511750070932012-06-22T20:51:17.269+02:002012-06-22T20:51:17.269+02:00@Charlotte - I almost envy you your coffee habit, ...@Charlotte - I almost envy you your coffee habit, especially with a Nespresso to look after you in the mornings!<br />@ Meredith - sounds like a great arrangement, especially the part about your husband making it for you!<br />@Jane-Anne - Thanks for your lovely words.
