- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, add 2 cups of water and bring it to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Step 2
Once the water begins to simmer, add the saffron threads and let them steep for 2-3 minutes to release their color and aroma.
Step 3
Add the ground coffee and ground cinnamon to the saucepan with the saffron-infused water.
Step 4
Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure the cinnamon dissolves evenly.
Step 5
Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan or microwave-safe container, heat 1 cup of milk until warm but not boiling.
Step 6
Strain the coffee mixture through a fine mesh strainer or coffee filter into a coffee pot or large measuring cup.
Step 7
Pour the strained coffee into individual cups, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Step 8
Stir in 1 tablespoon of sugar (or your preferred amount of sweetener) into each cup of coffee.
Step 9
Top each cup with equal portions of the warm milk, stirring gently to combine.
Step 10
If desired, add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each coffee and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon for garnish.
Step 11
Serve immediately and enjoy your aromatic Cinnamon Saffron Coffee!
