Spiced Coconut Coffee

I liked this a lot. I didn't use a brewing machine. Rather, I just filtered the coffee and spices with boiling water in a press. I will leave out one of the cloves next time, but that's just a personal preference. I topped it with some whipped coconut cream.

I used blue agave in place of honey and added 2 packets of Splenda only because I like my coffee sweet. I liked the spiciness from the red pepper. Will make again.

I loved this coffee! It was a very unique, flavorful cup of coffee! I adapted this recipe for a single serve, instant, decaf, coffee method because I'm the only coffee drinker in the house! It worked perfectly! This is what I did...I brewed a cup of instant coffee in the microwave. Then in a tea bag sleeve I added the following spices as listed in the recipe...1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper, 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon and 1/4 tsp. ground cloves. I dipped this into my coffee and let it steep for 2 minutes. Removed the spice filled tea bag and added the honey and coconut milk. I also added 3 drops of coconut extract for extra coconut flavor! This was exactly what I wanted! I'll be drinking this alot from now on!

Very creamy, sweet with a hint of cider-like flavor! I used about 3 tbs of coffee grounds instead of 2 and added a hint of ground nutmeg into the grounds. Perfect for someone who strives to eat more naturally, is lactose intolerant or even Paleo, like myself! Even the non-paleo boyfriend approved. I will definitely make this again! plus it smells so good! mmm!

Wow! I love the spicy kick the crushed red pepper gives this. Plus, the creamy coconut milk and cloves and cinnamon combine to make one very fun and different coffee. Perfection.
