Plant whose root is used to make an extract that is an ingredient of Camp Coffee (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chicory

(Other definitions for chicory that I've seen before include "Root used as a coffee substitute" , "Vegetable used with coffee" , "Plant used instead of coffee" , "Salad plant (with a root ground and used in coffee)" , "Plant with edible salad leaves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
