Spices vs. Herbs
Spices and herbs both come from plants, but they bring different flavors and aromas to your beverages. Spices typically come from seeds, bark, roots, or fruits and tend to have bold, warming flavors—think cinnamon, nutmeg, or cardamom. Herbs are usually the leafy green parts of a plant, like mint or basil, and offer fresh, sometimes floral notes. For iced Dandy Blend, spices can add depth and complexity, while herbs can brighten and refresh your drink.
5 Ways to Spice Up Your Iced Dandy Blend
Experiment with these spice additions to find your favorite way to enjoy iced Dandy Blend. Whether you keep it classic or get adventurous, each sip will be a celebration of flavor and help make your summer afternoons even more enjoyable.
1. Cinnamon Swirl
Stir a pinch of ground cinnamon into your iced Dandy Blend for a sweet, warming kick. For extra indulgence or when hosting, garnish with a fresh cinnamon stick. Perfect for a hint of sweetness without the sugar.
2. Nutmeg Cold Foam
Whip up a cold foam using your favorite milk (dairy or plant-based) and a dash of ground nutmeg. Spoon the foam over your iced Dandy Blend for a nice, creamy finish without the heaviness of a latte.
3. Summer Spice Medley
Add a sprinkle of ground cardamom and ginger for a zesty, summery twist. These spices pair beautifully with the roasted notes of Dandy Blend and bring a spicy, yet calming effect to your daily sips.
4. Citrus Zest & Clove
Grate a little orange or lemon zest into your iced Dandy Blend and add a tiny pinch of ground clove. This combination offers a refreshing burst of citrus balanced by the warmth of clove—perfect for sipping by the pool.
5. Cinna-Mint Infusion
While not a spice, fresh mint leaves muddled into your iced Dandy Blend add a cool, invigorating lift that’s perfect for hot days. Try combining mint with a hint of cinnamon or ginger for a layered flavor profile.
