Cinnamon isn't the only spice to enjoy with coffee. Enhancing its flavor and bringing out new tastes can also be achieved with ginger, cardamom, pepper, and even salt. Each of these ingredients adds its own unique note to the drink. Уaskrava kava on Instagram advises which spices are worth adding to coffee.
Coffee with cardamom
"This is one of the most expensive spices in the world, known as the 'King of Spices.' In Arab countries, cardamom symbolizes hospitality, so those who entertain guests often prepare coffee with this spice," say experts.
It's important to note that cardamom has a strong aroma and intense flavor, so it should be added to the drink in small amounts.
Coffee with cinnamon
Cinnamon reduces the acidic effect of coffee on the body. It also promotes better blood circulation and helps warm up, making it recommended for colds, nervous exhaustion, and low mood.
Coffee with ginger
"This beverage calms the nervous system, helps relax, and enjoy relaxation. Adding a small amount of ginger to coffee will reduce the caffeine's impact on the body," say experts.
You can add a pinch of ground ginger to the prepared coffee or put a small fresh piece.
Coffee with pepper
This coffee facilitates the rapid removal of harmful toxins from the body.
"Coffee with pepper improves stomach function and has antiseptic properties. For a quality taste, add 2 peppercorns to the cup and let the drink infuse. Pepper can also be added to the Turkish coffee pot during preparation," say experts.
Coffee with salt
It may seem like an odd combination, but it's actually a unique blend. It creates a special contrast in flavor and enhances the coffee's characteristics. Interestingly, salt in coffee removes excess bitterness.
Using spices in coffee
"For the first time, prepare a small cup, as the taste will be unusual. Remember, moderation is key. If you overdo it with spices, the drink will be too intense, and you won't be able to enjoy it," explain experts.
