The cheap (and tasty) trick that will take your morning coffee to a new level

Trine Jensen-Burke

When it comes to what makes a morning great, let’s all agree that coffee features far up on that list.

It is the start of just about every morning and, at times, feels like it is absolutely magical.

And look, we know coffee one of life’ necessities – and at this stage we’d pretty much drink it cold if needs be (and, in fact, often do).

But it turns out there’s a little trick that can totally take your morning coffee to the next level – and it could not be simpler to do.

All you need is one ingredient and, in fact, you may already have it in your kitchen.

Are you ready? Cinnamon.

And no, we are not talking about sprinkling it on top (duh!). Ready to have your mind blown?

What you need: A coffee maker, a coffee filter, coffee grounds and cinnamon

What you do: Fill your coffee filter with grounds and generously sprinkle cinnamon on top. (Yes, the cinnamon goes right into the filter.) Brew as usual.

Why it’s great: You know that weird clumpy sludge that appears when you add cinnamon on top of hot liquid? That doesn’t happen when you add the cinnamon before the coffee is brewed.

Now, enjoy that delicious smell in your kitchen, sip and get ready to meet your new addiction.
