DIY Flavored coffee

This may seem so simple it isn't worth making a post about, but I found this idea on a blog a few years ago and have been doing it ever since! This is especially handy right now as there are fewer flavored varieties of decaf coffee and I'm limiting my caffeine during pregnancy.

DIY Cinnamon Coffee

For Keurig single cup (what I use)

Fill brew cup as you normally would with coffee grounds. Sprinkle 1/8tsp (or generous dusting) of cinnamon over the top of the grounds. Brew as normal. Prepare with milk/sugar as you normally would. *I wanted mine iced today, so I chilled in the freezer for 30 minutes before pouring over ice to enjoy.*

For regular coffee maker

Fill coffee filter with grounds as you normally would. Add approximately 1tsp cinnamon for each 2-3 cups you plan to brew. Add less the first time and titrate up to get the spiciness you want. For example, if setting the pot to brew 10 cups, add just 3tsp spice the first time and increase up to 5tsp if you want it spicier.

This works really well with pumpkin pie spice or other spice combos to get a christmas-y gingerbread blend (think 1 part nutmeg, 1 part ginger, 2 parts cinnamon).
