This is an interesting recipe sent to me by Sheila. I tried it yesterday afternoon and it was delicious! A very nice change of pace. It does require a prep work so prepare the water ahead of time.

Ingredients for Water:

• 6 cups water
• 4 cinnamon sticks
• 8 whole cloves
• 8 allspice

Put water and spices in pot and bring to boil. When water starts to boil lower heat and let water simmer for about 5 minutes. After water has simmered, you need to let the water chill until cool.

Ingredients to Brew coffee:

• 6 cups of spiced water
• 3/4 cup ground coffee

When you are ready to brew your coffee, strain spices from the water. Brew coffee as usual using the strained spiced water in place of plain water. You’ll need about 3/4 cup coffee grind but adjust this as desired. Remember you can always add a little warm water if too strong.

This is a nice dessert coffee. To fully enjoy the flavor, serve with a dessert that does not have an intense flavor, try plain pound cake.

A special thank you to Sheila for this recipe.
