MOROCCAN SPICED COFFEE



Moroccan Spiced Coffee image

Tea often comes to mind when people think of Morocco, but the Moroccans also love coffee. This version is very milky and sweet, with only a mild coffee taste but some interesting spices you might not have thought to put with coffee. They use a tall, fairly narrow, coffee pot and Mohammed, who taught me how to make this, stressed the importance of letting the milk heat until it froths and rises up in the pot. Surprisingly, it did not burn as I had expected, knowing how easily milk can scald, although I would keep an eye on your milk just to make sure. Also, the Moroccans drink this very sweet, saying lots of sugar brings out the spices. Add sugar to your taste.

Categories     dessert

Time 8h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup espresso coffee beans
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Large pinch ground ginger
Large pinch ground nutmeg
Large pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 cardamom pod
1 whole clove
1/2 cup granulated sugar
Splash of sambuca
1 cup very cold heavy cream
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
2 teaspoons orange flower water
1 teaspoon finely grated orange zest
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Candied orange peel, for garnish
Fresh mint sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • For the Moroccan coffee granita: Put the coffee beans, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, black pepper, cardamom and clove in a coffee grinder and process until ground.
  • Place the ground spiced coffee into a coffee maker, add 4 cups cold water and brew according to the manufacturer's directions. Transfer the brewed coffee to a small saucepan, add the granulated sugar and cook over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved. Stir in the sambuca.
  • Pour the mixture into a 9-by-13-inch metal or glass baking dish. Freeze until ice crystals begin to form around the edges, 3 to 4 hours, depending on how cold your freezer is. Using a fork, stir the mixture well and return to the freezer. Continue freezing, stirring and scraping every 30 minutes, until the mixture is thoroughly frozen and the crystals are fluffy, another 3 to 4 hours.
  • For the orange water cream: Combine the cream, confectioners' sugar, orange flower water, orange zest and vanilla extract in the chilled bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Mix until soft peaks form.
  • Layer the granita and orange water cream in tall glasses. Garnish with candied orange peel and mint sprigs

Categories     Beverages

Time 12m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground green cardamom seeds
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground clove
scant 1 cup freshly roasted coffee beans
4 cups boiling water
hot milk, to taste
sugar, if desired

Steps:

  • Combine the spices with the coffee beans in a grinder and whirr until the beans are finely ground.
  • Bring 4 cups of water to boil.
  • Put some milk-a cup or more-in a small saucepan over a low flame to heat. Do not let it come to a boil.
  • If you are making the coffee in a filtered maker: Pour the coffee mixture into the paper-lined brewing cup. Pour about 2 ounces of boiling water over the coffee to allow the grounds to "bloom." Then slowly add the rest of the water, allowing it to drip through the grounds into the pot below.
  • Or (for Mikekey) if you are using a French press: Put the coffee and spice mixture in the bottom of the press pot. Pour in the requisite amount of boiling water, put the top in place and let the mixture steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Press the plunger down.
  • Pour the spiced coffee into cups and add hot milk (and sugar) if desired. Serve at once.

SPICED MOROCCAN COFFEE



Spiced Moroccan Coffee image

This recipe makes a large batch of Moroccan coffee and serves up to four large mugs. It is difficult to scale the recipe down because the spice measurements are fairly small. If you can reliably measure tiny amounts of spices, then you can adjust the recipe to your desired volume freely.

Categories     Drinks

Time 11m

Number Of Ingredients 8

32 oz water
2 oz dark roast coffee (coarsely ground)
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground black peppercorns
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ginger
⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom pods
⅛ teaspoon ground clove

Steps:

  • Start by preparing your coffee as you normally would for brewing a regular cup of French press coffee. Grind dark roast coffee on a coarse setting.
  • If you have a spice grinder, use it to grind the spices. Otherwise, measure pre-ground spices and add them to the French press with the coffee.
  • In a small saucepan, pour enough milk for the desired number of cups. The amount is entirely up to you.
  • Heat the milk on low until it's hot but not boiling.
  • Pour between 180 g and 200 g of boiling water over the coffee-spice mixture. Start a timer.
  • Wait 1 minute before pouring the remaining water up to a total of 900 g (32 oz).
  • After 4 minutes, press the plunger on the French press with even pressure. Try to move the plunger slowly and smoothly. Be sure not to press the coffee and spices into the bottom of the French press, as doing so will produce bitter, harsh coffee.
  • Decant the coffee into mugs and add hot milk to taste. You can also add sugar to taste, although we recommend trying it without sugar first. There are so many flavors present in the cup that even people who regularly take their coffee with sugar often drink Moroccan coffee without it.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark roast coffee beans.
  • Grind your coffee beans just before brewing for the freshest flavor.
  • Use filtered or spring water for the best-tasting coffee.
  • Add the spices to the coffee grounds before brewing for a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have a coffee maker, you can brew Moroccan spiced coffee in a French press or a cezve (Turkish coffee pot).
  • Serve Moroccan spiced coffee with a side of dates, nuts, or pastries.

Conclusion:

Moroccan spiced coffee is a delicious and unique way to enjoy your morning cup of joe. The combination of coffee, spices, and sugar creates a flavor that is both sweet and savory. This coffee is perfect for a special occasion or a relaxing afternoon at home. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make Moroccan spiced coffee at home and enjoy the taste of Morocco in your own kitchen.
