Ingredients

• 4 cups Freshly brewed coffee
• 1 cup Brandy
• 0.5 cup Triple sec (orange liqueur)
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 1 strip Orange peel
• 1 strip Lemon peel
• 1 whole Cinnamon stick
• 6 cloves Whole cloves

Directions

Step 1

In a small saucepan, combine the brandy, triple sec, sugar, orange peel, lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and cloves.

Step 2

Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring gently to dissolve the sugar, until it is warm but not boiling.

Step 3

Using a long-handled lighter, carefully ignite the mixture in the saucepan to burn off some of the alcohol. Allow the flames to subside naturally (this may take a minute or two). Exercise caution and keep flammable objects away.

Step 4

Once the flames have died down, pour in the freshly brewed hot coffee and stir well to combine all ingredients.

Step 5

Remove the orange peel, lemon peel, cinnamon stick, and cloves from the saucepan using a slotted spoon or fine strainer.

Step 6

Carefully ladle the Cafe Diablo into individual coffee mugs or heat-resistant glasses, serving immediately.
