What was the common tea in 1860s? And what about coffee substitutes? I'm really more interested in the home grown types like dandelion. People had to be pretty ingenious back then. I've read about "Scotch" coffee (scortching crackers and scraping it into hot water) The Galveston Daily News is providing some answers. Thought this might be a fun for all discussion.
