Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 ml Strong brewed coffee (traditional Algerian-style or French press)
- 240 ml Unsweetened almond milk (or any preferred plant-based milk)
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon Sugar or maple syrup (optional)
Instructions
Brew a strong cup of coffee. Traditional methods like stovetop or French press are recommended for a bold flavor.
In a small saucepan, combine the almond milk, cinnamon stick, and ground cardamom. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it is warm but not boiling.
Once heated, remove the cinnamon stick and froth the milk using a handheld frother, whisk, or by shaking it in a sealed jar for 30 seconds.
Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, filling it halfway.
Gently pour the frothed almond milk over the coffee to fill the rest of the mug.
Taste and sweeten with sugar or maple syrup if desired.
Serve immediately, garnished with a light sprinkle of ground cardamom on top for added aroma.
