I have a desire to make some coffee biscuits with the chocolate drop on top. Haven’t made them in a long time so dug out my old imperial measurements recipe and delved way into the back of the pantry for the bottle of coffee and chicory essence. Just thought I would check the best before date - July 1995. I couldn’t believe it! Funny thing is - it smells fine.
Anyone top that?

Someone i knew did some housesitting. The house they were in had a very big pantry that seemed to have never been cleared out of anything. It included numerous packets of Gregg's herbs and spices, usually about eight packets of the same spice but ranging in age from the 1960s to current. You could line them up and see all the packaging changes through the decades.

Just looked at my bottle tucked away at the back of a shelf Ali and it is January 2008 and is in a more modern bottle than probably the one you have. If I remember the old style bottle was square in shape, mine is a round bottle and possibly contains less than the old style.
I too would like a copy of your coffee biscuit recipe please.
