Cooking Steps

Gather all ingredients and equipment: 1 cup (240 ml) freshly brewed coffee, 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, sweetener to taste (1-2 teaspoons), 2-3 whole cloves, a pinch of ground nutmeg, 1/4 cup (60 ml) milk (if using), and optional 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and whipped cream for topping. Prepare a small saucepan and a coffee mug.
Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of freshly brewed coffee into the small saucepan. Place the saucepan over medium heat (around 160-180 °C / 320-356 °F).
Add the 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 2-3 whole cloves, and a pinch of ground nutmeg to the saucepan. Stir the mixture gently with a spoon to combine the spices evenly.
Heat the coffee-spice mixture for about 3-5 minutes on the stovetop, stirring occasionally. Watch for steam rising from the saucepan, which indicates that it’s warming but be careful not to bring it to a boil.
Once heated, remove the saucepan from heat and let it steep for 2 minutes. This resting time allows the spices to infuse the coffee and enhance its flavor.
Before serving, strain the coffee-spice mixture into the coffee mug using a fine mesh strainer to remove the whole cloves and any undissolved spices.
If desired, add the sweetener of choice to the strained spiced coffee, stirring well to dissolve completely.
If using, warm 1/4 cup (60 ml) of milk in the same saucepan over low heat until steaming (approximately 50-60 °C / 122-140 °F), then froth the milk using a whisk or milk frother, if you prefer a foamy texture.
Pour the frothed milk into the coffee mug, allowing for a creamy finish on your spiced coffee.
For added flavor, you may mix in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract gently.
Optionally, top the spiced coffee with whipped cream for a decorative finish, and dust with extra ground cinnamon or nutmeg if desired.
Serve immediately while hot, enjoying the aromatic experience of the cardamom spiced coffee.
