Conservative coffee lovers, be careful: in this article we will talk about what more can be added in addition to coffee and sugar cream. Classic black morning coffee - it's good, but sometimes it wants tasty experiments.

1. Spice

Have you ever tried to add a little spice to the ground coffee before brewing? Often added to coffee cinnamon and nutmeg, but also recommend experimenting with cloves and ginger and add a pinch of cayenne pepper.

In Israel and other Middle Eastern countries popular strong coffee flavored with cardamom. To prepare it, you need:

• half teaspoon cardamom pods or beans;
• a cup of strong roasted coffee beans;
• sugar to taste.

Grind the seeds of cardamom with the coffee beans and pour the them together in an airtight container. You can make coffee as usual and try to cook it in the traditional way. For this purpose, pour into a pan ½ cup of water and bring to boil. Then add ¼ cup of coffee and cardamom mixture and sugar to taste. Cook over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then remove from heat and allow to stand for a minute. Pour the coffee in small cups, leaving most of the grounds in the pan.

The stores can now be found syrups with different tastes. If you prefer strong coffee, it is better to abandon the fruit toppings and stop at the chocolate or vanilla. Emphasize the bitter taste will help syrups with almond or cinnamon. To easy fit coffee syrups caramel, berries and fruit.

4. Vanilla or almond extract

5. Butter

In recent years, coffee and butter is becoming a popular drink. We suggest this recipe: 1 cup of brewed coffee mix in a blender with 1 teaspoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Do not turn off the blender until frothy appearance.

6. unusual milk

In stores you can find almond and coconut milk flavored with vanilla or chocolate, which blends perfectly with a cold coffee. You first need to make coffee cold-brewing. We need:

• ¾ cup of coffee beans medium rare and coarse;
• large french-press.

Pour the coffee French-press and fill 3 cups of filtered water at room temperature. Leave for 10 minutes and then mix gently. Cover and allow to stand at room temperature for 12 hours. Slowly lower plunger French-press to the entire mixture was at the bottom. If you want, you can skip the coffee through a coffee filter. Then refrigerate. Pour half cup of coffee concentrate and half a cup of ice-cold milk or water.

The resulting concentrate can be poured into a mold for ice and sent to the refrigerator. When you want to drink ice coffee, pour out the frozen cubes in a cup of coffee, and pour all the almond milk.

• To coffee was more strong, insist it is not 12 hours, and 24.
• Stick water and coffee ratio of 4 to 1 (or 1 to 5 if you prefer a strong toasting seeds).
• To the concentrate was stored longer, just add sugar to it.

7. Whipped cream

Topping "two in one": once and cream, and sugar.

8. Ice cream

The perfect combination: espresso and ice cream. If the regular Iced you already fed up with it, try to do just the opposite - to prepare ice cream with coffee. To do this you will need:

• 5 servings (½ cup of each) mint cream;
• ¾ cup strong brewed hot coffee.

Spread ice cream into cups and sprinkle each serving with two tablespoons of coffee. Serve immediately. Some variations of the recipe include whipped cream or a shot of amaretto (although any other liqueur is also nice).
