I love this coffee as is. I love this coffee even more "jazzed up" when the heat is around 100 degrees. I heat about 1/2 cup water, add two packets of Ganoderma coffee, two packets of Sweet and Low, some sugar free caramel ice cream topping and finish with Silk Lite Soy Milk. For summertime, this is a real treat. In the wintertime; however, I love the coffee simply brewed.
