Instructions

  1. Bring the water to the boil in a small saucepan.
  2. Add the aniseed and the cinnamon stick if using, then let it infuse for 3 minutes over low heat.
  3. Add the ground coffee, take off the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes so the grounds settle.
  4. Strain through a fine sieve or a coffee filter into four preheated cups.
  5. Sweeten to your taste, then serve straight away with the milk on the side.

Variations and tips

Iced version. Let the infusion cool, strain it, then serve over ice with a little cold milk.

Using what you have. If you don't have whole aniseed, use ground green anise, about half a teaspoon per cup.
