Discover the rich, aromatic blend of cloves and coffee, a combination that could put an end to your trips to the specialty beer market. This easy, do-it-yourself approach adds a spicy twist to your morning ritual, infusing your daily cup with unexpected flavors and aromatic pleasures.
Ingredients:
Coffee: Choose your favorite coffee beans. Medium or dark roasts work well, as they balance out the strong flavors of the cloves.
Cloves: Whole cloves are best because they steep gradually, releasing a deep, spicy essence without overpowering the coffee.
Directions:
Brewing Your Coffee:
Start by grinding your coffee beans if you’re using whole beans. Aim for a medium grind, similar to what you would use in a drip coffee maker.
Clove Blend:
For each cup of ground coffee, add about 3-4 whole cloves to your coffee grinder. Walk them through briefly. This ensures that the cloves are broken up without being crushed, and blend perfectly with the ground coffee.
Brew Your Coffee:
Use your usual method for brewing coffee, whether it’s a drip coffee maker, French press, or espresso machine. The cloves will infuse with the coffee, giving the drink its distinct flavor.
Serving:
Pour freshly brewed coffee into a cup. The natural oils of the cloves blend beautifully with the coffee’s texture, creating a relaxing and aromatic experience.
Optional Enhancements:
For those who like a sweeter drink, consider adding a touch of vanilla extract or a cinnamon stick to your brew for an extra layer of flavor.
Benefits:
The combination of cloves and coffee not only tempts your taste buds, but also offers a number of health benefits. Cloves are loaded with antioxidants and have anti-inflammatory properties. When combined with the stimulating effects of caffeine, this infusion can help kick-start your morning while boosting your immune system.
