Postum was a grain-based beverage made by Kraft. It has now been discontinued. This is supposed to be a good substitute. Use more or less per cup depending on how strong you like it. If you can't find pre-ground bulgur wheat, you can grind it yourself in a coffee mill. This recipe is from and I have not tried it.
Ingredients:
5 cups wheat bran, moderately ground (hodgson mill brand recommended)
4 cups bulgur wheat, moderately ground (bob's red mill brand recommended)
2 cups cornmeal, coarsely ground (bob's red mill brand recommended)
1 cup unsulphured molasses (grandma's brand recommended)
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 300°F.
2. Combine all ingredients and rub them between the palms of your hands until they are evenly mixed.
3. Spread mixture into shallow baking pans.
4. Roast until well-browned, about 5 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even browning.
5. Cool and store in a sealed jar or canister.
6. To use, add 2 tablespoons mix to 1 1/2 cups water.
7. Boil or brew in a coffee maker.
