02/17Nutmeg

Nutmeg can give your morning cup of brew an earthy flavour. Plus, nutmeg is already slightly sweet in flavour so it'll help combat the bitterness in your coffee and will leave your tastebuds tingling with delight.

03/17Cocoa Nibs

Cocoa nibs taste a lot like dark chocolate but hold a nuttier and chewier texture than dark chocolate. You'll need to add about half a teaspoon for about 2 cups of coffee and it'll instantly amp up the flavour of your favourite brew.

04/17Peppermint Oil

You only need a dash of this so remember not to add more than 1-2 drops to one cup of coffee. You can always add some more if you'd like but it's better not to overdo the minty taste beforehand. Since peppermint is rich in vitamins and also aids digestion, it pairs perfectly with coffee which is a diuretic.

05/17Kosher Sea Salt

Unlike your normal salt, kosher sea salt tastes completely different and will give your coffee a whole new flavour. It can help get rid of some of the bitterness too. Either add some to your brew before drinking it or add some to the coffee grounds before brewing them.

06/17Salt

We know you might have cringed at this thought but give things a chance before judging them, would you! Salt can help add a whole new dimension of flavour to your brew. Just sprinkle some into your coffee once you're done brewing it, and give it a good stir.

07/17Ice cream

If you're anything like us, we're sure this idea might have totally intrigued you. Give sugar a toss and opt for a rich scoop of vanilla ice cream to add to your morning cuppa. Not only will it add a much-needed dose of sweetness to your brew but it'll also give your coffee a rich-creamy texture that you'll love.

08/17Butter

Add some butter to a hot brew of coffee and sip on it while the butter slowly dissolves leaving an oh-so-creamy texture in your mouuth. You're bound to love that sweet and salty taste. Remember not to add butter to your cold brew though.

09/17Ginger

We're sure you've had your taste of 'adrak wali chai' but did you ever wonder whether ginger could be added to coffee? Well, let us tell you that it tastes just as amazing in coffee too. It instantly spices things up and leaves you with a really amazing after taste.

10/17Coconut Milk

If you happen to be lactose intolerant then this might just be the perfect additive to your coffee. Add one teaspoon or two of organic, unsweetened coconut milk to coffee (black). Add some maple syrup for sweetness if you'd like.
