- Fine mesh strainer
- Stirring spoon
- Coffee mug
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground coffee
- 180 ml hot water
- 45 ml dark rum
- 1 whole clove
- ½ star anise
- 1–2 teaspoons brown sugar (or to taste)
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients in PotAdd 1 tablespoon ground coffee, ¾ cup hot water, 1–2 teaspoons brown sugar, 1 whole clove, and ½ a star anise to a small saucepan or cezve. Stir gently to blend the coffee and dissolve the sugar.
- Brew and Infuse FlavorsPlace the pot on the stove over medium heat. Allow it to slowly heat until it reaches a gentle simmer. Let it bubble lightly for 3–4 minutes to extract the coffee and let the spices infuse into the liquid.
- Add the RumRemove the pot from heat. Stir in 1½ ounces (45 ml) of dark rum and let the mixture sit for about 30 seconds, allowing the alcohol to warm without boiling off the aroma.
- Strain and ServePour the hot coffee mixture through a fine mesh strainer into your favorite mug, catching the spices and coffee grounds. For a finishing touch, top with a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately while warm and aromatic.
