Answers:
actually from what i have researched i think the name for it is just Chicory!. The roots are baked, ground, and used as a coffee substitute and additive, especially in the Mediterranean region (where the plant is native)

oh and from what i just read, there have been reports of people taking chicory that have constant allergies due to the additive!. but otherwise it's not that bad!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

"White Coffee" is a herbal tea, invented in Beirut, made with orange blossom water!. Traditionally served after meals in Lebanon and Syria, it is often accompanied by candied rose petals, served in tiny, delicate dishes!. White coffee is a sedative, and calms the nerves while stimulating digestion after a particularly rich or heavy meal!. In Lebanon, orange blossom water is given to fussy babies; it is also used as a perfume, either in the bathwater or directly on the skin!.

Lebanese and Syrian white coffee contains absolutely no coffee!.
