Spiced Coffee Recipes

Steps:

• Add the ground coffee and pumpkin pie spice to the coffee filter of a drip coffee maker. Add 6 cups of water to the machine. Add the strips of orange zest to the empty carafe.
• Brew according to the manufacturer's instructions. The orange zest should stay in the carafe as the cups are filled.

Steps:

• Mix the coffee liqueur, creme de cacoa, vodka, and espresso in a small pitcher. Cover the pitcher with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer until the mixture is very cold, about 3 hours.
• Meanwhile, rub the rims of 8 Martini glasses with the orange wedge. Dip the rims in the sugar crystals to coat lightly. Place the glasses in the freezer.
• Add the ice cubes to the vodka mixture and briskly stir the mixture until the ice begins to melt. Strain the mixture into the prepared glasses, and serve.
• Note: For kids, serve hot cocoa with sugared rims.

Steps:

• Add the coffee cubes, milk, sugar and hazelnut spread to a blender and buzz until smooth. Add the ginger and spices and blend until a little more until combined. Pour into 4 glasses. Grate fresh nutmeg on top.

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.

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.

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, combine water, sugar, and honey. Stir in ginger, cinnamon stick, cloves, allspice, peppercorns, and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool for 20 minutes, then strain through a fine mesh sieve, or double layer cheesecloth.

Steps:

• In a 3-qt. slow cooker, combine coffee, sugar, chocolate syrup and extract. Place cinnamon sticks and cloves on a double thickness of cheesecloth. Gather corners of cloth to enclose spices; tie securely with string. Add to slow cooker. Cook, covered, on low 2-3 hours., Discard spice bag. If desired, serve coffee with cinnamon sticks.

Steps:

• Combine all the ingredients in a small (1 mug or 2 cup size) coffee plunger.
• Add boiling water and allow to stand for 5 minutes before pouring.
