Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup ground starbucks christmas blend or other dark roast coffee
4 cinnamon sticks, crushed or broken into small pieces
6 cups water
1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
2/3 cup honey
half and half or milk

Steps:

  • 1. Mix together the coffee and cinnamon sticks. Using the coffee-cinnamon mixture and the water, brew coffee by your customary brewing method. Add the cardamom and honey to the hot coffee and stir until the honey dissolves. Serve warm. Pour about 2/3 cup coffee into each glass. Pass the half-and-half or milk. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality coffee beans: The foundation of a great cup of spiced coffee is high-quality coffee beans. Look for beans that are freshly roasted and have a rich, complex flavor.
  • Use whole spices: Whole spices will infuse your coffee with more flavor than ground spices. Some popular choices include cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, and cardamom pods.
  • Toast the spices: Toasting the spices before adding them to your coffee will help to release their flavor and aroma. You can toast the spices in a dry skillet over medium heat for a few minutes, or in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use a cheesecloth bag: If you don't want to deal with straining the spices out of your coffee, you can use a cheesecloth bag. Simply add the spices to the bag, tie it closed, and steep it in your coffee for the desired amount of time.
  • Sweeten to taste: If you like your coffee sweet, you can add sugar, honey, or maple syrup to taste. You can also use flavored syrups, such as vanilla or hazelnut.

Conclusion:

Spiced coffee is a delicious and festive way to warm up during the holiday season. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a cup of coffee that is both flavorful and aromatic. Experiment with different spices and flavors to find your perfect combination. Enjoy!
