Mediterranean Coffee

I put spice into pretty much everything I can so this recipe fit me to a T. I have yet to add the ask for chocolate syrup (I added the optional found below) and I use splenda in place of sugar. I have been pouring a cup of brewed coffee and adding Splenda, some loose anise seeds, a couple of cloves and a cinnamon stick. I like to bite the seeds and cloves and the coffee is so good. I class it as romantic just because I think it is.
