My dad told me he had been adding cinnamon to his coffee grounds when he makes coffee, and it opened my eyes to the wonders of flavoring coffee before you brew it rather than just adding the flavoring afterward. It better infuses the flavor, plus you don’t get the grittiness of the spices floating around in your drink. And if you’ve never tried it, coffee ice cubes are the best – no watered down iced coffee here!

• Vanilla

Sprinkle cinnamon, cardamom, and nutmeg onto your coffee grounds before you brew your coffee.

Pour some of the brewed coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze to make coffee ice cubes. Refrigerate the rest of the coffee. When you’re ready for a cup of iced coffee, put a couple iced coffee cubes into a glass.

Add your favorite creamer (I like hazelnut) and a splash of vanilla.

Pour in the refrigerated coffee and give it a stir! If you don’t have any cold brew or refrigerated coffee, you can also use a lot of coffee ice cubes and poor hot coffee over them.
