Coffee is a classic beverage to enjoy with breakfast. If you drink it often, you might want to get out of the routine of taking it black or with cream and sugar. Try these variations to treat your taste buds and boost your health when you order or brew your next cup of java.  

3 Ways to Improve the Taste of Your Coffee at Breakfast 

1. Add Cinnamon or Nutmeg

Cinnamon adds a sweet flavor and aroma without all the sugary calories. It's full of health and nutritional benefits, including antioxidants, which protect your body from free radicals that cause oxidative damage. A dash of cinnamon in your coffee produces a smooth flavor that complements your meal, and it can reduce bad cholesterol levels.

Nutmeg is another spice featuring a mild sweetness and earthy flavor that gives coffee extra smoothness. A touch of it works well with cinnamon, or just add a bit of ground nutmeg to stand on its own.   

2. Dash in Vanilla Extract

Adding a few drops of vanilla extract enhances your coffee with a sweet and rich flavor. If you grind your coffee beans, insert a vanilla bean to the mix before you start the brew. Whether you have waffles, pancakes, or sage sausage and eggs, the smooth taste will give your breakfast dishes a boost.  

3. Stir in Honey 

If you want to ditch sugar, honey makes a naturally sweet substitute. This sugar alternative provides anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and anti-fungal effects.  Honey is full of antioxidants, including organic acids, vitamins, and enzymes, which give you additional health benefits. Its compounds include polyphenols that help your immune system grow stronger, slow the aging process, and help prevent cancer.
