Creative Coffee ☕️
The first thing I do every day is make myself a cup of coffee, a latte, some espresso, whatever the day calls for! Sometimes I like sweet, other times I like strong. Sometimes I like hot, other times I like cold.
What you want should indicate how you make it. I have an espresso machine so I can make lattes (I still prefer to steam the milk on the stove), I have a pour over set, I have a single cup brewer (not k-cups), and I have a brewing pot. I experiment with different milks, creamers, syrups, and other methods of flavor to try new things and find what I like best.
If you swipe to the end you can see a basic cup of drip coffee, the coffee is hazelnut flavor, I only added a little golden sugar and regular whole milk and then popped some vanilla bean marshmallows in there for some extra flavor.
My favorite is an iced caramel macchiato with some whip and extra drizzle. These all sound fancy and expensive to make but they really aren’t! You can make mock lattes out of your regular drip coffee if you wanted. I mean, yes, they make creamers for that, but why not get experimental and try making some of your own flavors?

Coffee lovers know that the perfect cup of coffee can set the tone for the day. Experimenting with different flavors and brewing methods not only enhances your coffee experience but also allows for creativity in the kitchen.
