Flavors That Go Amazing With Coffee

There are some of the usual additives that you already put in your coffee like milk or sugar, but today we are going to go over some additives that you probably haven’t put in your coffee mug.

Some of those additives can bring you amazing flavors and it just might be your best espresso cup.

1. Alcohol

If you like a little buzz with your coffee or you are at a party and want to start to slow these are your best option. You certainly already heard about Irish coffee, the most popular alcoholic drink mixed with coffee.

Here is some more alcohol that you can mix your coffee with:

Rum
Whiskey
Bourbon
Liquor (hazelnut or orange)

2. Chocolate

A lot of people love mocha lattes because coffee already has flavor notes of chocolate and mixing it with more chocolate makes a great pair. You can try adding melted chocolate to your coffee to enrich its flavor. We recommend dark chocolate or chocolate syrup.

Keep in mind that it has a lot of sugar and sweetness and if you do not want that you can add cocoa nibs when grinding your beans. That way you will get that taste of chocolate without being too sweet and sugary.

3. Butter

If you are looking to boost your energy and add a little fat and oil to your coffee, you should try adding butter. Besides an energy boost, it also has an amazing taste and can be a great substitute for creamer.

4. Extracts

If you do not want to use spices in your coffee you may like extracts that you most likely already have in your home. These are great ways to enrich your coffee with amazing flavors.

Some of our favorites that we encourage you to try are:

Vanilla Extract
Almond Extract
Peppermint Extract

5. Spices

This should be your go-to option if you want to change the taste of your coffee. It’s very easy and cheap to implement it into your coffee-making routine.

Here are some spices that you could try and how to use each one:

Cinnamon Stick: Add it to your pot while you are brewing coffee.
Nutmeg: Sprinkle on the foam.
Cardamom: Be sure to only sprinkle a little bit.
Ginger: You can add fresh slices directly or sprinkle.
Star Anise: Add a pod while you brew.
Clove: Add to coffee grounds before brewing.

Flavors That Go Amazing With Tea

Out of these three beverages (Wine, Tea, and Coffee) tea is most likely to get bland over time. When that happens you need something to enrich the flavor and bring that desire for tee.

Here are our recommended picks that are universal with every type of tea. Be sure to experiment a little until you find your favorite additive.

1. Berries

You might think it’s odd to put berries in your tea but throwing a mixture of blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries is going to add a lot of amazing flavor to your tea. Aside from that it will leave you less hungry and it brings more texture and sugar into your tea.

They have the best effect in the spring and summer months and its best mixed with blueberry, peach, hibiscus, or lavender tea.

2. Mint or Peppermint

Mint or peppermint is best consumed with green or mint tea. It brings a strong smell and it overcomes boring herbs in green tea.

3. Ginger

Ginger is a great way to add spice and zing to your tea. It will help you clean your sinuses and flu symptoms. We recommend including a large amount of ginger with your tea and waiting for it to dissolve, that way you will get a great taste.

It’s best when mixed with pomegranate, citrus, or chai tea.

4. Almond or Coconut Milk

Almond and coconut milk are great substitutes for whole milk especially when it comes to mixing it with tea. Almond and coconut milk are much lighter than whole milk which makes it way better for mixing with tea.

The mix of these two will have an amazing flavor and it will be much easier to drink. We recommend you try it with pumpkin, cinnamon, green, or chocolate tea.

5. Maple Syrup

These are great to enrich any type of tea that you might find flavorless. Just drop a shot or two into your cup of tea and you will find that tasteless tea is something magical.

We are especially recommending trying it with green, caramel, chocolate, vanilla, or cinnamon tea.
