Sometimes I like to add a bit of variety to my coffee.
This recipe adds a subtle spice to coffee, which is especially warming on a cold winter's day.

Grind the spices so they release their aroma. We are not going for a powder, just broken up.

Now prepare your coffee as normal.
I am using an espresso machine, but there is no reason this won't work with most other brewing methods.

Additions

  • This also works well with a bit of milk and sugar syrup.

  • The spice flavour is quite subtle, you can double up on the spices if you want the flavour to really come through.
