Chicory Cream (From France for Coffee Lovers)

There was no pic on the pg, but just reading the recipe by Pierre-Yves Chupin in *French Bistro and Cafe Cooking* made me drool. When I finished reading & realized how easy this was to make, I was well-hooked. (Time does not include time for creme fraiche & coffee ground mixture to sit). *Enjoy*
