Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons freshly ground dark roast coffee
- 1 cup filtered water
- 1 stick cinnamon stick
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate (70% cacao or higher), finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Use 2 tablespoons of freshly ground dark roast coffee with 1 cup of filtered water in your preferred brewing method (French press, drip coffee maker, or pour-over). Set aside once brewed.
Step 2
In a small saucepan over low heat, add the cinnamon stick, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and 1 teaspoon of brown sugar. Stir gently to dissolve the sugar and release the cinnamon's aroma.
Step 3
Pour the freshly brewed coffee into the saucepan with the spiced mixture. Stir to combine and let it heat over low heat for about 1 minute, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain out the cinnamon stick. Return the coffee to the saucepan if needed.
Step 5
Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped dark chocolate to the coffee. Stir until the chocolate is fully melted and the drink is smooth and creamy.
Step 6
Pour the spiced coffee mixture into a heatproof mug.
Step 7
Top with 2 tablespoons of whipped cream for a luxurious finish. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the whipped cream as a garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately and savor every bold, spicy, and decadent sip!
