Why not spice up your coffee offering by trying something new? You don’t have to completely change your drink to something you’ve never tried, just add these toppings for a slightly different flavour that you and your guests will love!

Cinnamon
This powdered delight is perfect for brightening your morning as a dusting on regular coffee. Add a dash of cinnamon to a latte, cappuccino or even some tea.

Nutmeg
Similar to cinnamon, this slightly nutty spice is often found in baked goods and atop whipped cream on tasty drinks. You can buy fresh nutmeg and grate it or buy the powdered version. Line the rim of your cup with nutmeg by lightly wetting it with water before adding coffee. Dip the rim in nutmeg and then pour in the coffee

Whipped Cream
Whipped cream can be a perfect addition to regular coffee, espresso, lattes and macchiatos. Make whipped cream at home or purchase the spray variety for quick and easy use. Whipped cream also makes a perfect base for cinnamon, nutmeg or even sprinkles.

Nutella
Yes, really ! Add a little touch of hazelnut to your coffee or espresso drink by mixing in some Nutella! Add a spoonful of Nutella to the mug and stir until it dissolves. Allow the drink to cool a bit and then enjoy this sweetened brew.

Mint
Peppermint isn’t just for cafe drinks. You can make a peppermint mocha, minty hot coco or mint coffee right at home. Look for coffee syrups wherever you buy your beans – they likely have a premade peppermint syrup that you can take home. Add a few pumps to a mug before brewing coffee or espresso into it and then use a spoon to mix the two. Add your foamy frothed milk for a tasty cappuccino or latte and sip away. You can also add solid peppermint or crushed bits of peppermint wheels. They float well on whipped cream or make a perfect addition to the rim of a coffee mug.

Ice Cream
The ultimate late afternoon pick me up. Pour a fresh cup of coffee on top of some ice cream and enjoy the buzz! Espresso also works well for this delicious idea.

Chocolate
This is one of the least-surprising and most tasty additions to coffee as you can make any coffee drink better with a bit of chocolate. Use fudge syrup as a drizzle on the top of a hot coffee, or stir some in at the bottom of the cup for a totally mocha drink. You can even use bar chocolate if you let it melt while the drink cools.

TREND ALERT: BUTTER BOARDS

A butter board is the latest trend that you absolutely must try for your home or business. It looks so good, tastes even better, and is so easy to make that you will wonder why you never tried this before! It’s basically when you spread a delicious butter of your choice on a wooden board. Then, you drizzle and sprinkle on some extra flavours. When you are finished putting it together, you serve it with some crusty bread and crackers. Voila!

This trend is brilliant because this not only makes a tasty appetizer for any occasion but it is also a beautiful way to display classic bread and butter with just about any meal! You definitely want to hop on board this trending train!

The ingredients are simple and easy and can be changed up according to your taste!

Butter: I used New Zealand Sea Salt Crystal Butter in this butter board recipe.

Honey: Drizzle the honey on top to add a sweet flavor to the butter.

Lemon Zest: Add in the tang of a lemon with some lemon zest.

Dried Fruit: I used tangerines, peaches, and strawberries to decorate the board. They add a delightful fruity taste to complement the butter.

Honeycomb: The honeycomb adds an elegant element to the butter board.

Coarse Sea Salt: Sprinkle this on to enhance the butter’s flavors.

Fresh Rosemary: I love adding in the dark green color of fresh rosemary sprigs.

Crostini Bread: A hard and crusty bread is the best for scooping butter off of the board.

This just might be one of the easiest food trends to replicate right now! It only takes a few steps, and then you will be on your way to indulging in this insanely delicious butter board!

Spread Butter: On a square board, spread the softened butter evenly on the board with a knife or a spoon. Leave about 5cm around the edge. Add a drizzle of honey.

Grate: Grate some lemon zest and sprinkle on top of the butter.

Add Dried Fruit: Top with tangerines, peaches, strawberries, and honeycomb.

Sprinkle and Serve: Sprinkle coarse sea salt on top and top with fresh rosemary. Then, serve with your favourite crusty bread.

Endless Possibilties!

You can easily switch up all of the parts of the board each time to fit your occasion! Here are a few variations that you can try!

Add Heat: If you love adding a little bit of heat to your dishes, try sprinkling on some red pepper flakes. The more you add, the hotter it gets, and it will taste delicious!

Green Onions: Instead of the rosemary, add in a pop of colour and flavour with some fresh, thinly sliced green onions.

Nuts: Try adding some pecans, slivered almonds, or walnuts to the board. They add great texture and taste without changing things up too much.

Make it Sweet: We know this is a butter board, but you could easily switch up the base to cream cheese! Use different flavours, add things like dollops of jam, and garnish it with some fresh berries! You can still use crusty bread to eat it with, or you could even slice up some bagels and make it a breakfast board!

TAIWANESE PEANUT AND ICE CREAM ROLL

It’s like an Ice Cream Sundae tucked into a spring roll, what could be better!? This dessert originates from Yilan county, Taiwan where you can get it from street vendors at all hours of the day.

Crushed peanut and cilantro are a popular garnish for all kinds of food in Taiwan, and although it might seem strange for ice cream toppings, the combo is delicious and one that you have to try!

Ingredients

2 c. packed cooked peeled taro
2 c. plus 3 tablespoons water
1 c. granulated sugar
3 tbsp. tapioca starch

4 spring roll pastry wrappers
8 tbsp. finely chopped Chinese peanut brittle candy (ideally made with maltose and peanuts)
8 scoops taro or store-bought vanilla ice cream, divided
8 sprigs cilantro, divided

Directions

In a blender, puree taro and 2 cups water until smooth. Transfer mixture to a medium saucepan and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until hot, 8 to 10 minutes.

In a small bowl, mix starch and 3 tablespoons water. Pour slurry into warm taro mixture and stir until well combined. Add granulated sugar and stir until dissolved. Continue to cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until mixture has bubbled and thickened slightly, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to an airtight container, and let cool completely.

Cover and freeze at least 3 hours or up to overnight.

Let ice cream sit at room temperature about 10 minutes before scooping.

Spread a wrapper on a flat surface. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons candy over wrapper. Place 2 scoops ice cream horizontally side by side in centre of wrapper. Arrange 2 sprigs cilantro alongside.
