Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Dark roast coffee
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 piece Cinnamon stick
- 1 piece Star anise
- 3 pieces Whole cloves
- 1 pinch Ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Heavy cream or coconut cream
- 2 tablespoons Dark rum (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Orange zest
- 1 cup Ice (optional, for iced version)
Instructions
Brew 2 cups of dark roast coffee and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cocoa powder, cinnamon stick, star anise, whole cloves, ground nutmeg, and dark brown sugar.
Gradually add the brewed coffee to the saucepan, whisking constantly to dissolve the cocoa powder and sugar. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the spices.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate small saucepan, warm the heavy cream or coconut cream over low heat until it’s just hot, but not boiling.
If using, stir in the dark rum to the coffee mixture.
Divide the coffee mixture evenly between two mugs. Top each mug with the warmed cream, pouring it over the back of a spoon for a layered effect.
Sprinkle a little orange zest on top for a fragrant touch.
Serve hot, or if you prefer an iced version, allow the brew to cool slightly, strain out the spices, and pour over ice.
