Ingredients

☕️ 3 cups Lavazza Espresso Italiano Whole Bean Coffee 100% Arabica
🌿 2 cloves
⭐️ 1 star anise
🪵 1.5 cinnamon sticks
🍫 2-3 pieces Ibarra Chocolate Hot Chocolate Drink Tablets optional
💧 4 cups water
🥥 1-2 tablespoons coconut sugar
🥛 1-2 tablespoons Organic Valley Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions

1- Prepare Coffee Mix:

• In a Ninja blender, combine 3 cups of Lavazza Espresso Italiano whole bean coffee with 2 cloves, 1 star anise, and 1.5 cinnamon sticks.
• Blend until the mixture is a smooth, fine powder, approximately 4 seconds.

2- Storage:

• Transfer the ground coffee and spice mixture to a glass container with a clasp lid for freshness.

3- Brewing:

• Add 4 heaping tablespoons of the ground coffee mixture into an Orisell French press.
• Using an Orisell electric kettle, heat water until hot.
• Pour a small amount of hot water into the French press, just enough to soak the coffee grounds, and let it “bloom” for 30 seconds.
• Add more hot water to fill up to a total of 4 cups. Let it steep for another 45 seconds to 1 minute.

4- Serving:

• In a glass mug, add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut sugar and stir in 1-2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream.
• Slowly press down the French press plunger.
• Pour the brewed coffee into the mug and stir to combine.

5- Optional:

• For a richer, chocolate-infused coffee, blend 2-3 pieces of Ibarra hot chocolate drink tablets with the coffee beans in step 1.
