The American Beech Tree´s (Fagus Grandifolia) nuts when taken out of the husks, roasted until dark and brittle, then ground, will make a fine coffee.

- They are best collected after the first hard frost when they normally drop to the ground.
- Once stored, they can be used year round.
- Prepare normally, as you would brew a regular coffee.
