But often what happens is the same cup every morning can start to lose its effect, and this is when it is time to start looking for exciting new options to make getting out of bed a little easier, especially in winter,\u201d commented Thokozane Radebe, brand manager for coffee brand, Douwe Egberts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Giving oneself something different to drink in the morning, while still including the all-important ingredient \u2013 coffee \u2013 can help to start the day off on an exciting note. Whether it\u2019s changing the milk to a nut-based milk, or perhaps a flavoured syrup instead of the usual sugar, this can all make a difference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Radebe knows how important coffee is, and not only in the morning, but throughout the day as well; however, it is that first sip of the day that can awaken the senses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She suggests trying the following ingredients to help get the show on the road:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Cinnamon<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Maple syrup<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nutmeg<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Whipped cream<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pumpkin pie spice<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sweetened condensed milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although not all of these will be everyone\u2019s \u201ccup of tea\u201d, trying out different variations can give you the taste you are looking for. The Douwe Egberts range is the perfect companion when wanting to enjoy a simple cup of coffee, or when you are looking for a new additive to spice things up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use your favourite Douwe Egberts blend, or use the one suggested below, to give you a new coffee taste in the morning: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-instant-mocha\">Instant Mocha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>2tsps cocoa powder<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1 tsp Douwe Egberts Pure Gold (or Kenya Mocha for an added mocha taste)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sugar (according to your personal taste)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hot milk<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Place into your cup the cocoa powder, Douwe Egberts Pure Gold coffee, and sugar to taste.
