Prep Time 5 minutes

Cooking Time 5 minutes

Ingredients

1 litre water
2 cloves
2 whole allspice
1 star anise
1 cinnamon stick
Orange peel, a few strips

Heat the water with the flavourings until boiling. Simmer for a few minutes, then stir in the coffee. Simmer for a further minute. Remove from the heat and allow to steep for about 5 minutes.
