I Added 2 Extra Ingredients To My Coffee And I Can't Get Enough Of It

Two angles of a homemade coffee in a white mug with moons and stars on it.Much to the disgust of my loved ones who are huge coffee snobs, I love nothing more than a little flavouring in my coffee.Some vanilla syrup, a touch of gingerbread at Christmas and, of course, the second those leaves start to turn orange, I am reaching for the pumpkin spice.However, when I was feeling a little experimental in the kitchen over the weekend, I switched up my usual routine. Instead of reaching for the syrup, I played around with a couple of ingredients I had set aside for dinner that night.The ingredients actually made for a deeper flavour profileAs I said, I am no coffee snob and in fact, the syrups I use often completely mask the coffee taste, creating what my partner describes as a ‘caffeinated milkshake’.We all have our vices, OK?Anyway, this time around I added just a small dash of honey and some sea salt into the cup along with the coffee and swirled them together before adding in my usual oat milk.I expected it to be tasty – it’s hardly news that sweet and salt go together – but it was actually so much more. It added a layer of depth to the coffee which really brought out the flavour but offset the bitterness I am often trying to avoid. Then I tried it without the honey – and while it was missing that sweet salted caramel vibe, it still provided a smooth, delicious drink.This is a practice that goes back hundreds of yearsThe coffee experts at Golden Ratio explain: “Hungary, Siberia, and Scandinavian countries have enjoyed salted coffee for ages, thanks to the surrounding sea...“In Vietnam, the city of Hue boasts to be the birthplace of the modern salted coffee drink. Coffee is brewed in a stainless steel filter called a phin. The coffee drips into a cup of salted cream. This coffee has a distinct caramel flavour.”One word: delicious.
