Yerba Mate and Garana are the most common alternatives but they just contain lower amounts of caffeine. Many plants that have a simulative effect are used in cooking. You may have to concoct a tea made up of several plants like, ginseng, ginger, anise, and various types of mint. Some of the mints and chamomile can settle your stomach and a little basil might work as well.
George Washington Carver made a coffee substitute by roasting equal parts; peanuts, wheat or rye and cow peas. I have tasted it and it has the nutty flavor of a coffee but I am not sure if it has the kick.
