POSTUM Chewy Bars
POSTUM Creamy Shake
POSTUM Hot Apple Beverage

Thanks for the trip down memory lane...my grandma used to give us Postum on cold winter days ;)

I also found that if you use a mixture of half cold water and half Postum brushed onto baking bread it will give a dark, hard, shiny crust with added flavor. Brush a second time during baking.

Answer 2

I believe you can still buy it in Canada. But here's a recipe. HOMEMADE "POSTUM" 1 qt. fine ground wheat 1 pt. coarse ground corn meal 1/2 c. molasses or dark syrup Mix the wheat, corn-meal, and syrup. Rub them in the palms of the hand until it is well mixed. Put it into shallow baking pans and brown in a slow oven until it is a rich dark brown. It must be stirred often for even browning. Don't try to hurry the process or it will burn. When it is done, cool and store in a sealed jar or canister. Use like any cereal coffee. I use 2 tablespoons coffee for each cup and a half of water. It may be boiled or it can be made in an electric coffee-maker. With hot milk this makes a nice evening drink. If you can't buy ground wheat, you can sort whole grains of wheat and grind them in your blender. However, take them out before it grinds them into a flour.

Answer 3

For any recipes that call for 'coffee' or coffee flavorings, use Postum. It will enhance your melted chocolate frostings recipes, ice creams, or anything 'mocha' like hot cocoa with a tablespoon or so of Postum. There ya go! Have some fun with it.

Answer 4

Postum is a rodent and I wouldn't suggest eating it. If you are in the woods and there is nothing else to eat roast it but otherwise sorry to say but gross.
