Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Freshly brewed coffee
- 1 cup Brandy
- 0.5 cup Triple sec (orange liqueur)
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 strip Orange peel
- 1 strip Lemon peel
- 1 whole Cinnamon stick
- 6 cloves Whole cloves
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the brandy, triple sec, sugar, orange peel, lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and cloves.
Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar, until it is warm but not boiling.
Using a long-handled lighter, carefully ignite the mixture in the saucepan to burn off some of the alcohol. Allow the flames to subside naturally (this may take a minute or two). Exercise caution and keep flammable objects away.
Once the flames have died down, pour in the freshly brewed hot coffee and stir well to combine all ingredients.
Remove the orange peel, lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and cloves from the saucepan using a slotted spoon or fine strainer.
Carefully ladle the Cafe Diablo into individual coffee mugs or heat-resistant glasses, serving immediately.
