  1. This was a very tasty coffee drink. The brown sugar, cloves, and anise seeds really complemented each other quite well. This is my favorite coffee drink now. I will make it often.
     
  2. Yummy! A nicely spiced coffee that I really enjoyed! I used whole milk instead of evaporated, and I didn't have any anise seeds. Thank you Annacia for a treat! I reminds me of chai.
     
  3. Oh Yum! This was absolutely delicious, it was right up my alley...I loved the brown sugar and all the spices. This is a real taste treat; sweet, spicy , strong coffee, that is quick and easy to make and OH so rewarding. Thanks so much for sharing.
     
  4. I thought this was very tasty, and I don't even like coffee all that much. The spices and brown sugar really make it delicious though- almost like a chai tea. Who needs Starbucks when you can make coffee like this for a fraction of the price? [Made & Reviewed for PRMR]
     
  5. Tasty. I like that this uses dark brown sugar. Made as stated for a coffee shop type drink. I would make this again but increase the spices even more and see what happens.
