How to Make Cafe De Dude

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup of water, 1 cinnamon stick, 5 whole cloves, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 ounce of dark chocolate (chopped).
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Once boiling, gently skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Reduce heat to low, and add 1/4 cup of coarsely ground coffee. Stir gently to combine.
Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the coffee to steep and infuse with the spices and chocolate.
Remove from heat and let the mixture sit for 1 minute before carefully straining it through a fine-mesh sieve into your favorite mug. Serve immediately and enjoy!
