1. Brew 2 cups of dark roast coffee and keep it warm.
2. In a medium saucepan or a heatproof skillet, combine the orange peel, lemon peel, sugar, whole cloves, and cinnamon stick.
3. Pour the brandy over the citrus peels and spices in the saucepan.
4. Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently warm the mixture for about 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to infuse together.
5. Carefully ignite the warm brandy mixture with a long match or lighter. Ensure the flames stay controlled—flambéing will enhance the flavors and create a dramatic effect.
6. Once the flames subside, gradually pour in the freshly brewed coffee and stir gently to combine everything.
7. Strain the mixture into cups to remove the citrus peels, spices, and any residue.
8. Serve immediately while hot to fully enjoy the aromatic flavors of the Café Brûlot.
