A warm and comforting spiced coffee drink perfect for cozy mornings or chilly evenings.
Prepare the lemon peel by using a vegetable peeler to remove strips of peel from a lemon, avoiding the white pith.
Using fresh lemon peel adds a bright citrus aroma to the drink.
In a saucepan, combine the butter, brown sugar, ground cloves, ground nutmeg, and ground cinnamon. Heat gently until the butter melts and the mixture is fragrant.
Stir constantly to prevent the spices from burning.
Add the brewed coffee and heavy cream to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and heat until warm.
Do not let the mixture boil to preserve the cream's texture.
Place a strip of lemon peel in each cup. Pour the spiced coffee mixture into the cups and stir gently.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and aroma.
