Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups freshly brewed strong coffee
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cardamom
- 0.5 teaspoons orange zest
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 cup whole milk or plant-based milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 pinch dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, and orange zest with the freshly brewed coffee.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir gently to infuse the spices into the coffee. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Avoid boiling.
Meanwhile, in another saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until hot but not boiling. Stir in the honey and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
Using a frother or whisk, froth the milk until it becomes creamy and foamy.
Strain the spiced coffee through a fine mesh sieve into two coffee mugs to remove any solids.
Divide the frothy milk evenly between the mugs, pouring it over the spiced coffee.
If desired, garnish with a pinch of dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder on top for an extra touch of indulgence.
Serve immediately and enjoy your aromatic Cafe Marrakech!
