How to Make Coffee Diabolique

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/4 cup orange zest, 1/4 cup lemon zest, 1 cinnamon stick, 2 whole cloves, 1/4 cup sugar, and 1/2 cup brandy. Gently muddle the zest and spices with the bottom of a wooden spoon or ladle.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is hot (but not boiling).
  3. Carefully ignite the brandy using a long match or lighter. Allow the flames to burn off the alcohol completely (approximately 30 seconds to 1 minute).
  4. Remove from heat and slowly stir in 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee.
  5. Strain the mixture into demitasse cups and serve immediately.
