Spoons, cups, and cardamom; was: turbinado sugar

[Guest guest]

Yes, coffee!! Here is a " fancy " version. I'm lazy, I just crack a

seed or two and throw it in with the ground coffee, sometimes I throw

in a piece or cinnamon bark too. I use a coffee press and a electric

drip so it doesn't matter what you use...it's just good!

 

Orange Cardamom Coffee

 

From Some Like It Hot (cookbook, not the movie :>)

 

Seeds from 2 cardamom pods

1/2 cup whole coffee beans

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

3 cups cold water

6 ounces Grand Marnier (optional)

Whipped cream for garnish

Grated orange zest for garnish

Special equipment: coffee grinder

 

Grind the cardamom seeds and coffee beans together in a coffee

grinder. Using a standard coffeemaker, spoon the coffee-cardamom

mixture into a coffee filter. Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg on top

of the coffee grounds. Pour cold water into the coffeemaker and brew.

 

Divide the coffee and Grand Marnier, if desired, among four mugs and

stir. Top each with a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkle with orange

zest and serve.

 

Makes four servings.

Enjoy,

Janis
