Add a Boost of Flavor to Your Coffee By Grinding These Spices With the Beans

The process is super easy and requires no extra work on your part.

(Which is great, because no one wants extra work in the morning.)

To find out which spices, seasonings, and flowers (yes, flowers!)

would be good candidates, I raided my own semi-neglected spice rack and experimented.

Do your brew (I use an AeroPress) and enjoy.

Cardamom Adds Warmth and Fragrance

You guys know how I feel aboutcardamom and coffee.

(If you dont, let me clarify: I feel very good about it).

(And Im sure you dont want to waste any; that stuff is expensive.)

The result was, as you would expect, a pleasantly floral tasting brew.

You have to be careful though, add too much and the flavor can turn soapy.

I found five small flowers to be plenty for a cup.

Oh, and dont forget to clean your grinder real well afterwards.

Im a big fan of thebread method.
