Cardamom

In the Middle East, people like to add some cardamom to their coffee to give it a unique flavor. Cardamom was previously used in Indian herbal medicine. Why did it gradually become a flavoring for coffee? It is because cardamom helps to neutralize the stimulating effects of caffeine. You can sprinkle some ground cardamom on the surface of a cup of coffee after brewing it, or you can mix cardamom with coffee beans and grind them together.

Salt

If you add a little salt to your coffee, it can reduce the bitterness of the coffee. Some people add salt directly to the coffee powder before brewing. But if your beans are good, then you don't need to use salt to neutralize excessive bitterness. There is a saying that salt is the best seasoning for iced coffee, and many people strongly believe that a little salt can bring out the flavor of iced coffee.

Cinnamon

If you like to add sugar or cream to your coffee, you should consider using cinnamon instead of sugar and cream to change your taste, because this will reduce your calorie intake and also have health benefits, such as improving the body's immunity.

Butter

You might be wondering, why add butter to coffee? A man named Dave Asprey came up with the idea of ​​adding butter to coffee, and he called it "Bulletproof Coffee". Dave was inspired by Tibetan yak butter tea: adding butter to your morning drink can increase your energy and make you perk up. Even health experts agree with this idea.

Wine Booze

If you don't want your first cup of coffee in the morning to be so monotonous, you can add some alcohol to the coffee, but this is nothing new. Irish coffee is a famous classic coffee with whiskey. In Sweden, there is a local traditional way of drinking coffee, called "kaffekask" or "kaffegök". They will add strong distilled liquor (shochu) to the coffee. Some people call this coffee Russian Coffee.

Vanilla Extract

If you like your coffee sweet, you don't have to limit yourself to adding sugar or processed cream. You can try adding a few drops of pure vanilla extract. Similarly, you can add almond extract for a different flavor.

Coconut Milk

Are you keen on drinking a latte without milk? Then you can use coconut milk instead of milk. Some people may not like the taste of coconut milk and coffee mixed together, but the flavor brought by the two together is really unique, so you might as well try it.

Ice Cream

Put a scoop of ice cream in your coffee, which will turn your coffee into a dessert drink. Although the calories will increase, such a drink is absolutely irresistible on a hot summer day. In fact, there is a German drink called Eiskaffee that is made with coffee and ice cream as raw materials.

Egg

Beat a raw egg into the ground coffee powder and then filter it. This method of brewing coffee is called Swedish Coffee, which originated in the Nordic countries of the Scandinavian Peninsula. You can search Baidu for the specific method.
