Almost everyone around the world follows the same morning ritual: wake up, get a cup of coffee and start the hustle. Where the ritual differs is in the preparation of the coffee, and sometimes in its ingredients. For example, while pepper, lemon, and cheese are unlikely to be considered good java mix-ins in the United States, they are in other cultures.
