Moroccan Spiced Coffee or Espresso

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup coffee beans, or espresso beans
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 to 2 whole cloves
• 3 to 4 cardamom pods
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger, optional
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly black pepper, optional
• Granulated sugar for serving, optional
• Hot milk, for serving, optional

Steps:

1. Gather the ingredients.
2. Place all ingredients into a coffee grinder and process.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. Serve the spiced coffee black, or with sugar and hot milk as desired.
