Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • Ground cinnamon (1/4 teaspoon, plus more for garnish)
  • Whipped cream (to taste)
  • Brown sugar (2 tablespoons)
  • Cloves (4 whole)
  • Cinnamon stick (1)
  • Strong brewed coffee (2 cups)
  • Apple cider (1 cup)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine the apple cider, cinnamon stick, whole cloves, and brown sugar.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  3. Once dissolved, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 5 minutes. This process allows the spices to infuse their flavors into the cider.
  4. After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the mixture to remove the whole spices, leaving behind a spiced apple cider syrup.
  5. Next, pour the freshly brewed coffee into two mugs, dividing it evenly.
  6. Slowly pour the spiced apple cider syrup into the mugs of coffee, stirring gently to combine.
  7. Top each mug with a generous amount of whipped cream. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
  8. Serve your Acadian Spiced Apple Coffee hot and savor each sip.
