Instructions
- Bring the water to the boil in a pan.
- Add the cinnamon sticks and cloves, then let them infuse for 3 minutes over low heat.
- Add the ground coffee and sugar, then let it simmer for 3 minutes without a lid so a foam forms.
- Take it off the heat, let it rest for 2 minutes so the grounds settle, then strain into a jug or straight into the cups.
- Serve hot in small cups with a dry biscuit.
Variations and tips
Milky version. Add two spoonfuls of sweetened condensed milk to each cup for a softer, creamier coffee.
