If you're like most of the population, you can't get through the morning without a dose of caffeine. Whether one cup will do or you need to chug it by the gallon, coffee is the choice most girls turn to. It's easy to make and is super versatile, which lets you enjoy it in many ways. If you're a coffee addict, you need these hacks in your life, starting right now. You're welcome.
Yes, sugary sweet coffee might taste delicious, but it's not that good for you. Sugar can cause all kinds of health issues, including weight gain and insulin resistance. If you can't get by without it, you might be surprised that skipping the sugar in favor of cinnamon is just the switch you've been needing in your life. It tastes good and keeps all those calories out of your morning cup of joe.
Sure drinking your coffee can get you through the day, but don't stop there. You can use leftovers to make coffee flavored treats that can make any day go from bad to heavenly. Next time you need a pick me up, try tiramisu, coffee flavored brownies or cake with coffee mixed in. You can also enjoy coffee on ice cream or mixed with syrup on your pancakes.
Sometimes it's too hot for a steaming mug of coffee, but that doesn't mean you don't have a craving. When you need coffee and you need it cold, you don't want to put regular ice cubes in it because it will water it down and that's just sad. Freeze coffee into cubes and use them to chill your iced coffee. Perfect!
Got a particularly bitter mug of coffee? You certainly don't want to pour it down the drain. You need it, gosh darn it! When this happens to you, simply add a pinch of salt to the coffee, which will neutralize the bitterness without dramatically altering the flavor. Easy, right?
When you enjoy your Saturday or Sunday morning cup of coffee, it should be indulgent and relaxing rather than something you chug as you run out the door on your way to work. Add a dash of Bailey's to your brew and it totally enhances the flavor and turns the same old cup of coffee into something really special.
Coffee grounds are one of the best natural exfoliators out there so don't toss yours before you put them to use. In the shower, gently massage the grounds all over your skin to remove dead skin cells and reveal the radiant skin beneath. As a bonus, you'll be able to smell coffee all day long, which is never a bad thing, right?
Who says you have to shell out for the fancy coffee at the corner shop? You can totally make your own frothy coffee right at home and save yourself loads of cash. To do this, whip some milk until it starts to thicken. Then, microwave it for 30 seconds and whip some more. Add it to your coffee and you're the new best barista on the block.
