Spiced Coffee Cocktail Food

ANNE'S SPICED COFFEE

Steps:

• Fill a coffee filter with freshly ground coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and zest. Fill the coffee maker with water to make 8 cups, and brew.

MOROCCAN SPICED COFFEE OR ESPRESSO

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place all ingredients into a coffee grinder and process.
• The spiced coffee is best used immediately. If you don't need all of it, store the spiced ground coffee in a light-proof, airtight container.
• Use the spiced ground coffee, 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture per serving. Note: Ground spices may clog the filter basket in electric espresso makers, so other brewing methods are preferred, such as a French press, pour over, or drip coffee machine.
• Serve the spiced coffee black, or with sugar and hot milk as desired.

MOROCCAN COFFEE WITH SIX FRAGRANT SPICES

Steps:

• Combine the spices with the coffee beans in a grinder and whirr until the beans are finely ground.
• Bring 4 cups of water to boil.
• Put some milk-a cup or more-in a small saucepan over a low flame to heat. Do not let it come to a boil.
• If you are making the coffee in a filtered maker: Pour the coffee mixture into the paper-lined brewing cup. Pour about 2 ounces of boiling water over the coffee to allow the grounds to "bloom." Then slowly add the rest of the water, allowing it to drip through the grounds into the pot below.
• Or (for Mikekey) if you are using a French press: Put the coffee and spice mixture in the bottom of the press pot. Pour in the requisite amount of boiling water, put the top in place and let the mixture steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Press the plunger down.
• Pour the spiced coffee into cups and add hot milk (and sugar) if desired. Serve at once.
