seasonings I add to my coffee
I’m a relentless caffeine user. My other vices pass after a bit, but coffee I always return to. While whether I add milk and sugar depends on my mood and whether I’m counting calories, I still like to experiment with my considerable store of herbs.
In the image I have here, I decided to add some cardamom pods and cinnamon to my coffee. It made it taste just a bit richer, and while I did add a little sugar, it did not need nearly as much sweetening to my taste as usual. I chose these spices not just because they smell great in a latte anyway, but because the woody/seed nature stands up to the searing-hot water going through it pretty well. While I can sometimes add stevia leaves, most of the time green/leaf herbs just don’t handle filter treatment as well.
