List of Ingredients



• 1 stick cinnamon
  
• 12 whole cloves
  
• Thinly pared rind of 2 oranges, cut into thin slivers
  
• Thinly pared rind of 2 lemons, cut into thin slivers
  
• 6 sugar cubes
  
• 1 cup brandy (for heaven's sake, use good brandy)
  
• 1/4 cup Curacao or other orange liqueur
  
• 8 cups strong black coffee (ideally made by the filter method)
  






Instructions



1. In a chafing dish, mash the cinnamon, cloves, orange rind, lemon rind and sugar cubes together, using a ladle.
   
   
2. In a small pan heat the brandy and Curacao lightly, then pour this mixture into the chafing dish. Ignite the brandy, taking care because the flame may flare up, and mix until the sugar is dissolved.
   
   
3. Gradually add the black coffee and continue mixing until the flame flickers out. Strain the mixture and serve in goblets, mugs, or cups.
