Ingredients

• 240 ml brewed espresso or strong coffee
• 45 ml brandy
• 1 strip orange peel
• 1 strip lemon peel
• 2 teaspoons sugar
• 1 pinch ground cinnamon
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 2 whole cloves

Directions

Step 1

Brew 240 ml of espresso or strong coffee and keep it hot.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the brandy, orange peel, lemon peel, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.

Step 3

Warm the mixture gently, stirring occasionally, but do not let it boil. This helps infuse the flavors into the brandy.

Step 4

Once warmed and the sugar is fully dissolved, carefully ignite the mixture using a long lighter or match. Allow it to flame for about 10-15 seconds, then extinguish the flame by covering the saucepan with a lid or a metal spoon.

Step 5

Strain the warm spiced brandy mixture into two coffee mugs, dividing evenly.

Step 6

Top each mug with 120 ml of the freshly brewed hot espresso or coffee.

Step 7

Stir gently to combine and serve immediately. Garnish with a curl of orange or lemon peel, if desired.
