Spiced or " Chai " Coffee for 2

"I've been making this Mexican-East Indian flavored coffee for years and the thought never occurred to me of posting the recipe until recently. To "Chai-ify" the coffee, add 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. I use our Bialetti stainless steel stove-top espresso coffee maker from Italy to prepare this. Feel free to substitute ground spices for the whole."

  1. This is a true treat. I used espresso and the whole peppercorns along with everything else. Added a bit of Splenda with no milk or cream for me. Delicious, LOVE the gorgeous spice mix.
     
  2. Move over chai lattes!! This is better, deeper flavour and wakes you up! I used the fake stuff (a good kind though, if I'm allowed to say that), alcohol free vanilla added after brewing, whole peppercorns, ground allspice, plus the rest of the ingredients. I added Carnation evaporated milk and a little white sugar. A do again.
     
  3. Great cup of coffee, with nothing overpowering. I used Sumatra, as suggested. I made mine in a French Press pot, and steeped for about 5 minutes. Served with milk and agave nectar. Made for Winter 2010 Comfort Cafe game.
     
  4. I made this exactly as written. I loved this coffee. It was very warming and spicy. Very, very comforting. I used a bold french roast and the vanilla pod option, I did add a little milk and brown sugar. It was absolutely wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing.
     
  5. I brewed my pot of coffee with 4 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, pumpkin spices, 1/4 teaspoon cardamom seeds, cinnamon powder, Recipe #101039, a pinch of cracked black pepper. Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Just lovely! Nicely spiced. Not as you would find in a brew cup of Spiced Chai tea. Deli-sh and comforting.
