How to Make New Orleans Cafe Brulot
- In a heatproof bowl (a blazer pan or small saucepan works well), combine the cinnamon stick, cloves, sugar cubes, orange zest, and lemon zest.
- In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the brandy over medium-low heat until it’s almost boiling (do not boil).
- Carefully remove the brandy from the heat. Ignite the brandy immediately using a long match or kitchen lighter. (Caution: Be extremely careful when working with fire. Ensure proper ventilation and keep away from flammable materials.)
- Slowly pour the flaming brandy over the spice mixture in the heatproof bowl. The flames will extinguish once the alcohol is burned off.
- Place the heatproof bowl over low heat (or use a chafing dish burner if available) and spoon the brandy mixture over the sugar cubes, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Carefully stir in the hot coffee until well combined. Be cautious as the mixture will be hot.
- Pour the Cafe Brulot into mugs and serve immediately. Enjoy the warm, spicy, and slightly boozy treat!
