I thought I would share the way I prepare my morning coffee with you. I try to go without it, but I wake up in the early AM to send my husband off to work. I'm a good wife like that. After he leaves, I do get some sleep in, but it's not good sleep. I think my alarm wakes me up right when I get into a deep sleep. Not cool. So, coffee it is!
I usually make my coffee in a regular coffee maker, but I prefer cold-brewed. If you haven't tried cold-brewed coffee yet, you must! It's really smooth and you can make a large batch ahead of time. Here's how to make it. Today, I used just regular coffee.
When buying your coffee, read the ingredients list. Would you believe they have ingredients other than coffee listed most of the time? Watch out for natural flavors (that could be anything!) and soy lecithin.
I don't usually flavor my coffee but recently, I've gotten into Pumpkin Spice coffees. Fall does that to me. I make a batch of pumpkin spice syrup ahead of time. I've tried these two recipes and I cut way down on the sugar- A Beautiful Mess & Annie's Eats.
I also like to add full-fat coconut milk to my coffee (from a can not a carton). It's soooo good! It adds a richness to the coffee. Some people like to add home made almond milk, coconut oil or even grassfed butter to coffee. If you add the coconut oil or butter, is best to blend it together. I'm lazy, so I'll stick with coconut milk.
I usually put a Cuppow lid on my Ball jar, but it was dirty today. If you haven't heard of a Cuppow, you should check it out! They're so convenient!
There you have it. My morning coffee.
