Anti-Inflammatory

Berries, in general, are known to have anti-inflammatory properties, especially goji, acai, and blueberries. Sumac is known to be one of the most powerful anti-inflammatories. As an antioxidant, it has the ability to fight free radicals which can cause a variety of non-communicable diseases and visible signs of aging.

Adding it to Your Diet

Now that you know how great sumac is, it’s time to start adding it to your diet. You can cook with it, which is how most people like to use it. Or, you can make sumac lemonade with it. As it already possesses that lemony flavor, mixing it into your favorite lemonade is a great way to get all of the anti-inflammatory benefits. All you need is some ice, water, homemade sumac syrup, and some lemon juice.

Cardamom is a traditional spice, especially suitable for black or Americano coffee. Not everyone likes its rich and deep taste, but if you like it—you will be addicted to it.

Cocoa Powder

Add a pinch of sugar-free cocoa powder to your espresso. The unique flavor of the bitter cocoa powder will give a deeper sense to your coffee, similar to that of a mocha drink.

Vanilla

The vanilla flavor is also one of the most sought after in the coffee world. A few drops of any quality vanilla extract will help turn your cup of coffee from a standard coffee into a unique experience.

Salt

It is customary to add sugar to sweeten the coffee, but salt may moderate the bitter taste of the coffee, and some people add salt when grinding the coffee beans.
