Serves 2
Ingredients
- Quater cup cognac
- 1 to 2 dashes triple sec
- 2 cups very strong, hot coffee
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 2 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp sugar
- Whipped cream, to garnish (optional)
Method
Brew 2 cups of strong coffee and keep very hot. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, mix the cognac, triple sec, citrus zests, cloves, cinnamon stick, and sugar. Gently heat the mixture on the stove to release the flavors of the spices and citrus zests, just until small bubbles appear at the edges. Do not bring to a boil. Flambe the liqueur mixture, remove from the heat, and stir gently. Prepare the two cups of hot coffee. Filter the cognac mixture through a cheesecloth or fine sieve, pour it over the coffee, and decorate with whipped cream and an additional lemon or orange twist, if desired.
