Don’t let the ingredients scare you off. This coffee has a bit of a kick, but it’s just right for warming up on those cold winter days. It’s easily made in a french press or a regular drip coffee maker. The cinnamon stick can be used more than once. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired.

Recipe Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons ground coffee beans
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • 2 whole cloves
  • ½ (3 inch) cinnamon stick
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons honey

Cooking Directions

  1. 1 Combine the ground coffee, red pepper, cloves, and cinnamon stick in a coffee filter set into a drip coffee brewer. Pour the water into the brewer's water reservoir. Set the coffee brewer on to brew.
  2. 2 While the coffee brews, gently warm the coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the honey until the honey is dissolved. Pour the brewed coffee into the mixture; stir. Divide the liquid into two mugs to serve.

    This is a tasty cup of coffe. My husband didn't care to try this recipe and since some reviews thought the coffee was too weak I used an already brewed cup of coffe. I put 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper 1/4 tsp cinnamon & 1 clove in a tea bag. I poured the coffee over - Read more ...

    had to make a few changes but enjoyed it anyway. Will try it the original way next time. Instead of crushed red pepper I used Cayenne pepper. I didn't have a cinnomon stick so i added about 1/2 tsp of ground cinnomon. I think it was a little on the weak side (for cinnomon). I - Read more ...

    Yum! I'm drinking this right now. It really hits the spot. I found this recipe when I was going to make coffee and realized I was out of milk but had a can of coconut milk on hand. I didn't have cinnamon stick so I used 1/2 teaspoon ground and it was good but I - Read more ...

    I like the idea of this but I didn't care for the cloves and the honey was too sweet for my taste (I'd prefer it less sweet and I'd use agave or sugar). Also this makes weak coffee as written. It's a good start though!

    This is a great treat. I doubled the coffee grounds but otherwise made the recipe as is. To make it a little lighter on calories I'll try using milk and coconut extract next time.

    I love coconut so I couldn't resist trying this. It tastes great! The coffee flavour is a little weak maybe it's just the brand we buy. Surprisingly my fiance liked it too despite his aversion to all things coconut. I would make this again as a treat; coconut milk isn't a staple in our house. - Read more ...

    Wow! I love the spicy kick the crushed red pepper gives this. Plus the creamy coconut milk and cloves and cinnamon combine to make one very fun and different coffee. Perfection.

    I was so looking forward to this and realized at the last minute that I had no coconut milk so.... since I had ground enough coffee and spices for a half pot of coffee I added about 1/4 tsp of coconut extract to the pot of coffee then added fat-free half and half to each - Read more ...

    Excellent. I loved it. And really easy to pull together. I wouldn't make it all the time because coconut milk is a bit pricey but it was a nice splurge for a Sunday morning.
