Cinnamon 

Add a touch of cinnamon to your milk for a cosy and delightful fragrance. Whether it's in the form of ground or sticks, cinnamon adds a cosy and comforting element to your winter drink.  

Nutmeg 

To add a lovely touch of nuttiness to your milk, simply grate a hint of nutmeg. The gentle warmth it provides adds to the overall richness of the beverage. 

Cardamom 

If you want to add a zesty, aromatic spice to your milk, crush or grind some cardamom pods. Your winter glass of milk will be elevated with the addition of this fragrant spice.  

Ginger 

Grate or thinly slice fresh ginger into your milk for a zesty kick. Ginger not only adds warmth but also provides potential health benefits during the colder months. 

Turmeric 

Create a golden-hued milk by adding a pinch of turmeric. This spice not only imparts a unique flavor but also brings potential anti-inflammatory properties. 

Star Anise 

To add a gentle licorice-like taste to your milk, simply place a star anise into it. Adding this spice will give your winter beverage a delightful aroma and a hint of complexity.
