Ingredients

2 cups freshly brewed coffee

3 tablespoons brown sugar (light or dark, depending on preference)

1/4 cup milk or cream (dairy or non-dairy based on preference)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

A pinch of sea salt (to enhance flavor)

Whipped cream or frothed milk (for topping, optional)

Cocoa powder or cinnamon for garnish (optional)

Instructions

Brew Coffee: Start by brewing your favorite coffee using either a drip coffee maker, French press, or pour-over method. Aim for a bold flavor that will stand up to the sweetness of the brown sugar.

Dissolve Sugar: In a small saucepan, combine the brewed coffee with the brown sugar over low heat. Stir gently until the sugar is completely dissolved. If you want to enhance the flavor, add a pinch of sea salt, which helps to balance the sweetness.

Add Milk: Once the sugar has dissolved, stir in the milk or cream. Allow the mixture to heat through until it’s hot but not boiling. If desired, add the vanilla extract for an extra layer of flavor.

Froth the Milk (Optional): If you prefer a creamier texture, use a milk frother or a whisk to froth the milk while heating. This will give your coffee a lovely, velvety texture.

Serve: Pour the sweetened coffee into your favorite mugs. If you’re feeling indulgent, top with whipped cream or frothed milk.

Garnish: For an extra special touch, sprinkle a little cocoa powder or cinnamon on top for a delightful aroma and flavor.

Enjoy: Sip and savor your Sweet Morning Brew, enjoying the warm, comforting flavors that will energize your day.
