Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Freshly brewed coffee
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk or regular milk
- 2 pieces Whole cloves
- 1 piece Star anise
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the orange zest, ground cinnamon, ground cardamom, whole cloves, star anise, and coconut milk or regular milk.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and gently warm the milk mixture, stirring occasionally to prevent it from scorching. Heat for about 5 minutes until the spices are aromatic.
Strain the spiced milk mixture into a clean container to remove the cloves and star anise.
In a large mug or heatproof pitcher, combine 2 cups of freshly brewed coffee with the spiced milk mixture.
Add honey and vanilla extract to the coffee mixture, stirring until well-combined and the honey has fully dissolved.
Pour the Spiced Citrus Coffee evenly into two cups.
Optionally, garnish with a strip of orange peel or a sprinkle of additional cinnamon on top for extra flair.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, spiced flavors of this delightful beverage.
