How to Make Cafe Brulot
- In a heatproof bowl (a chafing dish blazer pan is ideal), combine 2 cinnamon sticks, 4 whole cloves, 4 sugar cubes, the zest of 1 orange, and the zest of 1/2 lemon.
- In a small saucepan, gently heat 1/2 cup brandy until it's almost simmering (do not boil).
- Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat and ignite the brandy using a long match or lighter. (Proceed with caution!)
- Slowly pour the flaming brandy over the spice and sugar mixture in the heatproof bowl.
- Place the heatproof bowl over a low heat source (a chafing dish burner works best, otherwise use a low heat on your stovetop).
- Using a spoon, gently baste the sugar cubes with the brandy until they are completely melted and caramelized.
- Stir in 4 cups of freshly brewed hot coffee.
- Serve immediately in warmed mugs or small heatproof glasses. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and an orange slice, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
