Moroccan Spiced Coffee
"Tea often comes to mind when people think of Morocco, but the Moroccans also love coffee. This version is very milky and sweet, with only a mild coffee taste but some interesting spices you might not have thought to put with coffee. They use a tall, fairly narrow, coffee pot and Mohammed, who taught me how to make this, stressed the importance of letting the milk heat until it froths and rises up in the pot. Surprisingly, it did not burn as I had expected, knowing how easily milk can scald, although I would keep an eye on your milk just to make sure. Also, the Moroccans drink this very sweet, saying lots of sugar brings out the spices. Add sugar to your taste."

Like another reviewer stated this coffee has a slightly smoky flavour. I didn't like the overall taste though and adding more white sugar just made it taste worse to me, which I guess was being out the flavour of the spices but maybe also the instant coffee's poorer taste. I made it with Original Rice Dream as we are dairy free but I do that with all my coffee's and teas so I doubt that was the problem. Made for Comfort Cafe - Snow Queen Round 01/10. -
Mmmm...very comforting. Has a slightly smoky flavor from the cumin and pepper, but the milk and sugar balance it out. It's part of my morning routine now. -
Wow! This was super different! One can taste the cumin and pepper for sure. I like this alot and for sure will make it again. Thanks for an authentic Moroccan coffee recipe, Sackville!

This is a picture of me and my husband in Portugal, climbing up above the clouds with our bikes.
Right now we are travelling around the world on our bicycles, so I only pop onto Zaar occasionally, when internet connections and time allow me to. If I don't reply to a message about one of my recipes, now you know why! Our trip may take several years so if it's urgent, it's probably better for you to post in the forums ;)
Good food is really important to me -- I am happy to pay extra for food that I feel is produced in a sustainable and ethical way and always try to eat using seasonal produce.
When we were in the UK we rarely shopped at supermarkets, trying instead to favour small producers, although we were very lucky in that we lived in London and there was lots of choice.
We also were fortunate enough to have a weekly organic veg box delivered to our door, filled with so many lovely vegetables for very little money. It really opened my horizons in terms of the variety of vegetables I eat. If you're in the UK, check out Riverford for a box supplier as they're amazing!
When I'm not eating I love to take pictures and travel with my husband.
