The Steaming Cup

Simmering a coffee recipe is a little different but worth the effort

You can really taste the rum in this one, great for a crowd. Simmering with spices for a few hours will build up the flavour of cinnamon and cloves. This recipe isn’t quick, so plan ahead.

• 8 cups hot coffee
• 1 cup dark rum
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 12 cloves, whole

Heat everything through over low heat and simmer for about 2 hours.

Serves 8 to 10.
