What Do You Add To Coffee ?

[Zeedman]

I use instant milk as creamer, sometimes with monk fruit sweetener or a vanilla creamer added. Guess I like it sweet. On a lazy Saturday, I'll add a packet of instant cocoa for a good rich mocha, and make some good whole-grain toast to go with it.

Laugh or call it sacrilege, but one of my favorite cups of coffee is an Asian (as in Oriental) instant coffee, called "Super Power". It comes in slim plastic pouches, with creamer & several herbs mixed in. As soon as hot water hits it, it smells like fresh brewed coffee. Better flavor, IMO, than most of the name brand instant coffees. Several of the Oriental groceries in my area carry it.

Usually straight up black, although we do add a shot of tequila & kahlua on occasion (we do a lot of Mexican here).

Now that sounds worth trying...

I like Kahlua on vanilla ice cream, make that Bluebell Homemade Vanilla!

I put collagen (for my joints) and heavy cream in my decaff coffee. No sugar. Usually 2 cubs a day is all I drink. The collagen is supposed to be odorless, but I detect a slight odor and taste, but isn't bad.

@valley ranch cardamom? that is a common spice in Turkish style types...

when i was drinking coffee on a more regular schedule and kept a supply at home i would get a certain blend and grind it to a super fine powder for use in this way.

get the water near to boiling first and then put in powder and a bit of the spice and sugar to steep for a few minutes. then pour into cups and let settle a moment before drinking. no filter, just gravity for the bigger chunks. smaller chunks were just added fiber.

and it's not too hard to make either (Kahlua)... cheap vodka, sugar, vanilla, instant coffee, water... the biggest thing you get the most bang for your buck with flavor here is the vanilla. use the best you can find and what you like for flavors. there are so many good vanillas to try.

age it a few weeks. if you can.

i don't drink much any more but we keep a bottle of this around for medicinal use... *hic*

Half and Half with half a teaspoon of sugar. Usually I only drink coffee when I'm eating out after dessert or with breakfast.

That's the way I always drank it until I tried the flavored creamer. Too much sugar and it ruined it for me.
