Normandy Coffee

From *The World Encyclopedia of Coffee* -- Per the intro, "Normandy is known for its apple orchards & gives its name to many dishes made w/apple juice or apple sauce. This recipe blends the flavour of apples w/spices for a delicious & tangy coffee drink." This is non-alcoholic as written, but is easily converted to a warming coffee toddy as mentioned in a note after the prep. *Enjoy* !

• Ready In: 17 mins
• Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 2  cups black coffee (espresso strength)
• 2  cups  apple juice (See note)
• 2  tablespoons brown sugar
• 3  oranges (thinly sliced)
• 2  small cinnamon sticks
• 1  pinch ground allspice
• 1  pinch ground cloves
•  cinnamon stick (to serve) (optional)

Directions

1. Bring all ingredients to a boil over mod heat. Reduce heat & simmer for 10 minutes.
2. Strain into a serving jug or pot & pour into cappuccino style cups, adding a cinnamon stick to ea as desired.
3. NOTE #1: The recipe did not say otherwise & my assumption is that unsweetened apple juice is preferred, but sweetened can be used at your option.
4. NOTE #2: For the alcoholic version, replace 1/4 of the apple juice w/Calvados, added when the heat is reduced to simmer in Step 1 (DO NOT allow the Calvados to boil).
