Indian spiced brewed coffee latte recipe

Coffee is brewed same as the spiced tea with fewer spices, cream and sugar

We will discuss this recipe as a concept for fusing Hot American coffee brewing with Indian Garam Chai making. It involves three phases:

1. You can buy many different type of pre-ground roasted beans in the grocery stores. Choose Arabica beans that are Dark or Double roast. This will give you the maximum coffee flavor.
2. In making Chai we add a lots of different types of spices for flavoring. To make spiced coffee, do not use more than two spices in any given batch. You will have to make a spice ground pre-mix. The spices you choose, will determine tools needed to make the ground pre-mix. For Cinnamon and cloves you need a mortar and pestle to make make a coarse ground. For Nutmeg, you need a grater. For Cardamom, you will need a coffee grinder. After the pre-mix is made, mix-it with ground coffee beans. Use a coffee grinder or a food processor for mixing. Now you have 'spiced coffee ground' ready to be brewed. For illustration, we will make Brewed Cardamom Coffee.

Ingredients

1. Green Cardamom pods: 6
2. Dark Roast Coffee ground for electric coffee makers: 8 Tablespoons
3. Water: 8 Cups
4. Half-half cream: to taste, perhaps 1 Tablespoon per cup of prepared coffee
5. Sugar to taste

Method

Step 1: In a coffee grinder, grind the cardamom pods with the skins. Add ground coffee beans and grind again. Do not over grind. This is done just to mix coffee and cardamom together. Now you have 'spiced ground coffee beans'
Step 2: Follow the instructions of the electric coffee maker, and brew your coffee. Serve it with cream and sugar if desired.
