# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It transforms basic coffee into something that feels like a small ritual without any real effort.
  • The spices warm you from the inside in a way regular coffee somehow doesn't.
  • Takes just five minutes but tastes like you planned something special for yourself.
02 -
  • The spices need hot liquid to release their flavor, so don't let your coffee cool down before stirring them in or you'll end up with gritty bits at the bottom and flavor that never fully developed.
  • If you use honey instead of sugar, let the coffee cool for just thirty seconds first or the heat will destroy everything that makes honey special.
03 -
  • Store your spices in glass containers away from light and heat, or they'll lose their power and you'll wonder why nothing tastes right.
  • If you have a milk frother, a tiny bit of frothed milk on top makes this feel restaurant-quality with almost no extra work.
