Winter's Day Coffee
by Cristie B.
(Denver, CO)
1 pot of coffee
1/2 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch grated nutmeg
Whipping cream for topping
This a great brew for those cold days when you come in from the snow and wind, and need a nice, hot pick-me-up.
First, brew a fresh pot of gourmet coffee - about 10 cups.
Then heat the water to a low boil in a saucepan. Add the sugar, cocoa, cinnamon and nutmeg. Bring back to a low boil for about a minute, stirring occasionally.
Combine coffee and the cocoa/spice mixture, and serve topped with whipped cream.
It's guaranteed to take the chill out of anyone. : )
