Milk and sugar are normal additives to coffee but did you know that you can add other flavours to your morning cup of joe? Cinnamon, lemon juice and spice are just a few things you can add to your coffee.

This list features 5 ways to add flavour to your coffee at home.

Coconut Oil

Thanks to health benefits ranging from improved brain function to weight loss and antibacterial properties, coconut oil has become increasingly popular in recent years. Adding it to your coffee provides more than just a nutritional boost. It yields a delicious creamy texture and light coconut flavour.

Salt

Eliminate the unappealing bitterness found in some coffees with a pinch of salt. It can even be a healthy choice, as the salt can replenish the sodium you lose when drinking coffee.

Cayenne Pepper

It is common in many Central American and Middle Eastern countries to add cayenne pepper to a cup of coffee.  Like all hot peppers, it is high in antioxidants, boosts metabolism, and is suitable for blood circulation.

Maple Syrup

Maple syrup contains minerals and nutrients not found in refined white sugar, including calcium, magnesium, zinc, and potassium. Because the syrup doesn’t need to dissolve, it works great in cold coffee drinks.

Ginger

Ginger has a long history as a medicinal plant. It has an equally long history as a coffee addition, as in the traditional Yemeni drink, Qishr, to which it adds its characteristic spicy flavor.
