For some, drinking coffee is an essential task of the day. Its versatility makes it ideal for any time of the day, and adding a little extra can make it even more special. There are many unique ways to generate more interest in your café by adding some ingredients that will transform how you know coffee.
Adding Spices
Coffee has a strong taste, and you can either tone it down, enhance it, or transform it. Adding spices will completely change its tone. Here are the main spices you need to try:
- Cinnamon: it will add sweetness like sugar but with fewer calories
- Vanilla extract: interestingly, it will make your coffee taste like hazelnut
- Cardamom: it adds a floral and exotic taste
- Ginger: it’s like Christmas in your coffee
- Salt: it takes away some of the bitterness
Make It Sweet
Most people have a sweet tooth and also enjoy drinking sweet drinks. Naturally, coffee has a strong bitter aftertaste that some people enjoy. If you can handle this taste, you are a professional coffee drinker, but if you want the benefits of caffeine with a less intense flavor, then adding sweets is suitable for you.
Some of the best flavor add-ins to include in your coffee will turn it sweet and delicious. Not everyone drinks coffee the same way, but everyone enjoys having options.
A Pinch of Alcohol
We usually think of coffee in the mornings as a soft and quiet drink, but you can also add alcohol for a bit of fun. Adding a little bit of alcohol, like Baileys or bourbon, will transform it into the perfect late-afternoon drink.
There is a popular drink for late-night parties called “Carajillo.” This fabulous drink, popular primarily in Mexico but also in Europe and Central and South America, combines coffee and “Licor 43” (a liqueur that contains citrus, vanilla, and aromatic herbs) to make a one of a kind drink.
Make It an Espresso
Adding a shot of flavor and caffeine will make your customers experience coffee differently. Eventually, your body will need a higher dose due to getting used to the taste and effect of a regular coffee; when this happens, an espresso is an excellent way to experience the next level.
An espresso quickly finds its way to the brain receptors because of the amount of caffeine it contains, and it immediately goes to work. If you want ways to generate more interest in your café, many benefits come with offering this strong drink.
