Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ground coffee
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 6 threads saffron threads
- 2 cups water
- 1 cup milk (or milk alternative)
- 1 tablespoon sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Once the water begins to simmer, add the saffron threads and let them steep for 2-3 minutes to release their color and aroma.
Add the ground coffee and ground cinnamon to the saucepan with the saffron-infused water.
Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the cinnamon dissolves evenly.
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan or microwave-safe container, heat 1 cup of milk until warm but not boiling.
Strain the coffee mixture through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter into a coffee pot or large measuring cup.
Pour the strained coffee into individual cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar (or your preferred amount of sweetener) into each cup of coffee.
Top each cup with equal portions of the warm milk, stirring gently to combine.
If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each coffee and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your aromatic Cinnamon Saffron Coffee!
