With some milk and sugar.
Coffee is a roasted bean, OP, and tea is an herb. :coffee::csd2smile:

NOT ONLY THAT!!!

A coffee enema is a type of colon cleanse that involves injecting a mixture of brewed, caffeinated coffee and water into the colon through the rectum. It's a procedure that is used in alternative medicine practices, but does not have sufficient scientific evidence to support any claims of health benefits.
Background
Coffee enemas are a part of Gerson Therapy, an alternative treatment for conditions such as cancer and other degenerative diseases.
Proponents claim that coffee enemas detoxify the liver and intestines, stimulate bile flow, increase glutathione production, and boost the immune system.
Historically, enemas have been used for centuries for various purposes, but the use of coffee in enemas is a more modern practice that gained popularity in the early 20th century.
There is no scientific evidence to support these claimed benefits and medical authorities do not recommend their use.
How it's performed (as described in some sources)
Brewed, caffeinated coffee (often slightly roasted, drip grind) is mixed with water and cooled to near body temperature.
The solution is then administered into the rectum using an enema bag or bucket and tube.
The liquid is typically held in the colon for 12 to 15 minutes before being released.
Risks and concerns
Lack of scientific evidence: There is no high-quality research to suggest that coffee enemas are beneficial for health, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Potential dangers: Medical professionals warn against the practice due to several potential risks, including burns, infections, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, and in some cases, even death, says Medical News Today.
Rectal or intestinal injury: The insertion of the tube and the liquid itself can cause tears, burns, or inflammation of the rectal lining and colon (proctocolitis or colitis).
Caffeine absorption: While some proponents claim that caffeine in the enema solution stimulates the liver and bile flow, there is research suggesting that caffeine absorption through the colon is lower than oral consumption and may not produce the desired effects, according to the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
Disrupting the gut microbiome: The introduction of coffee into the rectum may disrupt the balance of beneficial bacteria in the gut, says Medical News Today.
Electrolyte imbalances: Coffee enemas can lead to a depletion of essential minerals like potassium, causing electrolyte imbalances that can be dangerous, especially for individuals with pre-existing conditions like heart or kidney disease, according to Medical News Today.
Interactions with medications or conditions: Coffee enemas can interfere with certain medications or worsen existing health conditions, making it crucial to consult with a doctor before considering them.
Self-administered vs. professionally administered: While some clinics offer coffee enemas, there is no evidence to suggest that they are safer or more effective than self-administered enemas, says Medical News Today.
If you are experiencing constipation or other digestive issues, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional to explore safe and effective treatment options rather than resorting to practices like coffee enemas, according to GoodRx.

People can change. At a younger age the even smell of the coffee offended me.

Then, one day, I came to a room with some cups of coffee on a table and told myself: "What a wonderful smell!" Then I asked to drink one of the cups -- and it was good.

Don't know how it works -- but the nature sometimes works that way. Or maybe that was God's intervention in my brain. I don't know.

imagine putting milk into coffee
try different beans, different brews. try sugar or milk or creme, there are many ones can be altering the flavours of coffee. i prefer coffee black because i am not liking it too sweet, but even some black coffees can still have a "bite" of flavour to them without being too bitter.

Need to add cream and sugar. The smell and taste wake me up. Plus the caffeine.

Also iced caps from Tim Hortons are delicious.

Coffee breath is so disgusting.
I drink coffee with milk, but the way I have it, most people ask me "Would you like some coffee with your milk?"

I usually drink tea though.
