Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 tablespoons Freshly ground coffee
- 4 cups Water
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups Whole milk (optional for serving)
- Whipped cream (optional for topping)
- Ground cinnamon (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium pot or a stovetop coffee percolator, combine the water, freshly ground coffee, and the cinnamon stick.
Bring the mixture to a slight boil over medium heat, then reduce to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the cinnamon and coffee to infuse.
Remove from heat and carefully strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter into a clean pitcher or pot to remove the grounds and cinnamon stick.
Stir in the brown sugar and vanilla extract until fully dissolved.
For a creamier coffee, gently heat the milk in a small saucepan or microwave until warm, and add it to the coffee as desired.
Pour the Tailgate Coffee into mugs and top with whipped cream if desired. Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warming, spiced coffee while tailgating or relaxing outdoors.
