Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons ground coffee
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 0.25 teaspoon ground ginger
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener of choice (optional)
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream (optional)
Instructions
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ground cinnamon, cardamom, ginger, black pepper, nutmeg, and cloves. Set the spice blend aside.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low, and add the ground coffee and the prepared spice blend to the boiling water. Stir gently to combine.
Allow the coffee mixture to simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes. Do not let it come to a rolling boil again, as this can make the coffee bitter.
Strain the coffee mixture into cups using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the coffee grounds and spices.
If desired, add sugar or your preferred sweetener to taste, and stir until dissolved.
For a creamier version, stir in 1-2 tablespoons of milk or cream per cup.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the exotic aroma and flavors of Moroccan coffee.
