Ingredients

• 2 cups Dark roast coffee
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 piece Cinnamon stick
• 1 piece Star anise
• 3 pieces Whole cloves
• 1 pinch Ground nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Dark brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 cup Heavy cream or coconut cream
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Orange zest
• 1 cup Ice (optional, for iced version)

Directions

Step 1

Brew 2 cups of dark roast coffee and set aside.

Step 2

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the cocoa powder, cinnamon stick, star anise, whole cloves, ground nutmeg, and dark brown sugar.

Step 3

Gradually add the brewed coffee to the saucepan, whisking constantly to dissolve the cocoa powder and sugar. Allow the mixture to gently simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the spices.

Step 4

Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.

Step 5

In a separate small saucepan, warm the heavy cream or coconut cream over low heat until it’s just hot, but not boiling.

Step 6

If using, stir in the dark rum to the coffee mixture.

Step 7

Divide the coffee mixture evenly between two mugs. Top each mug with the warmed cream, pouring it over the back of a spoon for a layered effect.

Step 8

Sprinkle a little orange zest on top for a fragrant touch.

Step 9

Serve hot, or if you prefer an iced version, allow the brew to cool slightly, strain out the spices, and pour over ice.
