Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground dark roast coffee
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Use 2 tablespoons of freshly ground dark roast coffee with 1 cup of filtered water in your preferred brewing method (French press, drip coffee maker, or pour-over). Set aside once brewed.
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the cinnamon stick, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar and release the cinnamon's aroma.
Pour the freshly brewed coffee into the saucepan with the spiced mixture. Stir to combine and let it heat over low heat for about 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain out the cinnamon stick. Return the coffee to the saucepan if needed.
Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped dark chocolate to the coffee. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the drink is smooth and creamy.
Pour the spiced coffee mixture into a heatproof mug.
Top with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream for a luxurious finish. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the whipped cream as a garnish.
Serve immediately and savor every bold, spicy, and decadent sip!
