Ingredients

• 40 g medium-ground coffee
• ½ tsp ground cinnamon
• ¼ tsp Ground ginger
• ¼ tsp ground cardamom
• ¼ tsp Anise seeds (anís)
• 1 pinch Nutmeg
• 1 pinch ground cloves
• 1 pinch Black pepper
• 750 ml Water
• sugar, to taste
• 250 ml hot milk, to serve (optional)

Method

1. Mix the coffee with all the spices.
2. Bring the water just to the boil in a small pan, take it off the heat for 30 seconds, then stir in the coffee mix.
3. Return to a very low heat and let it steep without boiling for 3–4 min (or brew it in a cafetière for 4 min).
4. Strain through a fine sieve or coffee filter into small glasses, sweeten to taste and top up with hot milk if you like.

Tips

• Mix a bigger batch of the spices with a whole bag of ground coffee and keep it in a sealed jar; about 1 tsp of spices per 100 g of coffee.
• Adding milk makes it no longer vegan; oat milk works well.
