Spiced Coffee Recipes

There are lots of ways to improve on basic cup of coffee, and my personal favourite is to add a dash of spice. I love a hint of cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg. As I mentioned in an earlier blog, adding whole spices before you brew is a good way to do this.

So today, here are a few recipes for spiced coffee. These are all for coffee served hot so these drinks will really keep you warm during these cold winter days.

Fragrant Spiced Coffee

• 3 cups brewed coffee
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup dark brown sugar
• 1/4 tsp cloves
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon

Blend together brown sugar, cloves, nutmeg and cinnamon (use ground spices, not whole). Mix coffee and cream together with the spice mixture. Serve hot. Serves 4.

Mediterranean Coffee

• 3 tbs ground coffee (coarse)
• 2 tsp sugar
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp cocoa powder
• 1 tsp anise seed (whole)
• Pinch of dried orange peel pieces

Combine all the ingredients, and brew by your favorite method. Using a french press or a plunger pot is the traditional brewing style for this particular coffee recipe. Makes 1-2 cups of coffee.

Sweet Fennel Coffee

• 3 tbs ground coffee
• 2 cinnamon sticks, broken
• 6 whole fennel seeds, crushed
• 1 tbs brown sugar

Mix coffee and spices, and brew by your preferred method. Add the sugar to your finished cup for that sweet touch. Also serves 1 or 2.
