Spice up you morning coffee with this Spice It Up guide.
The seasons are changing, and that means your go-to pick-me-up likely is, too. What was once cold brew in the summer often becomes warm mugs of coffee and lattes in the fall and winter months. But when you’re stuck inside and want to change up your usual routine without breaking the bank, getting creative in the kitchen is the perfect trick. Add some spice to your life with these simple spiced brews.
Each recipe below is for one V60. Find out how to brew a V60 in our Perfect V60 blog HERE. Adjust the ingredients to taste or per your brew method and desired serving size.
Note: Residual spice flavor may remain in your coffee brewer. Since plastic is porous, there is a greater chance that it will retain flavors. If you want to avoid this, use a glass or ceramic coffee brewer, such as a CHEMEX or V60.
