Hi Emani, I really appreciate your honest review🤍! Think I might try it brewed hot with a little French vanilla creamer as I don't prefer milk in my coffee lol and agree with you that it makes it tastes muddy like😐. Unfortunately, I'm severely allergic to almond milk/all tree nuts actually/gotta keep my epipen on me at all times 😩🤦🏽♀️however, I can only consume peanuts and cashews.. go figure 🤷🏽♀️😂
