Time 8m

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 shots espresso (or ½ cup strong coffee)
1.5 teaspoons white sugar
1 teaspoon tangerine zest
1 pinch cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves
6 ounces milk

Steps:

  • Pull two shots of espresso. If possible, make them short ristretto shots for the best flavor. You can also brew ½ cup of strong coffee instead.
  • Make the spice mix. Add the sugar and spices to a small bowl. Zest a tangerine (using a zester, grater, or knife) into the bowl, making sure to avoid the white layer under the orange rind. Stir the mixture thoroughly.
  • Steam your milk. Use the steam wand on your espresso machine or a standalone milk steamer to produce delicate microfoam and warm milk.
  • Pour the espresso into your coffee mug. Add the sugar and spice mix (holding back a small spoonful) and stir well.
  • Add the steamed milk on top, spooning on a layer of microfoam at the end. Sprinkle with the rest of your spice mix and enjoy!

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:

  • Grind your spices fresh: Pre-ground spices lose their flavor quickly, so it's best to grind them fresh just before using. This will give your coffee the best possible flavor.
  • Use a variety of spices: Don't just stick to the traditional cinnamon and nutmeg. Experiment with different spices like cardamom, ginger, and cloves to create a unique and flavorful coffee blend.
  • Don't overdo it with the spices: A little bit of spice goes a long way. If you add too much, your coffee will be bitter and overpowering.
  • Use high-quality coffee beans: The better the coffee beans, the better your spiced coffee will be. Look for beans that are freshly roasted and have a rich, full flavor.
  • Brew your coffee using your preferred method: You can use a drip coffee maker, a French press, or a pour-over coffee maker to brew your spiced coffee. Choose the method that you like best and that produces the best results for you.

Conclusion:

Spiced coffee is a delicious and festive way to enjoy your favorite beverage. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of creativity, you can create a unique and flavorful coffee blend that will warm you up on a cold winter day. So experiment with different spices and brewing methods to find the perfect spiced coffee recipe for you.
