The perfect way to warm up on a snowy day is with this spiced coffee, mixed with cinnamon and nutmeg.

It’s been snowing here today and this past week, the kind of snow that brings you out to shovel, only to find out you need to break the ice first. This adventure has left me sore, but there’s something exhilarating about moving your body, moving heaps of snow and ice away from sidewalks, seeing the pathway glisten in the sun as everything slowly melts away. And the aroma of snow air? There’s nothing like it. It’s days like these I need a perfectly warm drink to greet me when I come back indoors, and this spiced coffee does the trick.

Chemex

I recently bought a Chemex, and I love using it. Formerly, I was a French press convert, but eventually the strainer stopped working and we’d have little bits of ground in our coffee. The Chemex is super smooth and (while I am often wary of trendy items) is completely worth its merit. Highly recommend it.

One little known fact: while I would imagine most people thing it’s totally weird to reheat coffee, but when brewing with a Chemex, the coffee grinds are filtered out basically in real time, and leftover coffee is never bitter, nor do they have the flavor of being “too cooked” (not sure if you know what I mean about old tasting coffee). It tastes just like you made it yesterday. So these days, to waste not, I simply simmer some of the leftover coffee in a Romanian Ibric (similar to a Turkish coffee warmer, linked below) with a cinnamon stick, add a splash of coconut creamer, and it’s delicious. But for those of you who want to make this from scratch using fresh coffee, this recipe works perfectly well for that too.

Why organic coffee?

Coffee seems to be, in my research, a highly pesticide-treated crop. And, by the amounts that the general public drink on the daily, non-organic coffee is not something I want to entertain. I drink coffee for entertainment purposes, not for caffeine, and I simply love the flavor ~ so I make several cups a week and I’m happy with that amount. Even if it’s the occasional cup, I still opt for organic coffee. Trader Joes, Whole Foods, or local health food stores have good selections, or just check out the link below in the “shop this recipe” heading.

Recipe for Spiced Coffee

  • One serving of Brewed Organic Coffee
  • One cinnamon stick
  • 1/4 cup coconut creamer or plant-based milk (whatever variety you enjoy)
  • grated nutmeg
  • Sweetner, if using (I like mine unsweetened)

First, brew your coffee. You can put a cinnamon stick at the bottom of the Chemex (or whatever container/pot you’re using to make your fresh brew) so the cinnamon can infuse for a few minutes, as you’re heating up your creamer/milk.

Heat up the creamer/milk just until hot.

Combine the coffee with the creamer. Remove the cinnamon stick, and grate some fresh nutmeg on the top. Enjoy!
