* 1 pint water
* 3 tbs ground coffee
* 3 tbs sugar
* 1/4 tsp cinnamon
* 1/4 tsp cardamom
* 1 tsp vanilla

Preparation:
Heat all ingredients in a saucepan until foam starts to form on top. Serve immediately. To keep it traditional, don't pour coffee through a filter.

Coconut Milk Coffee

A thick and tropical coffee recipe, using an entire coconut (both the milk and the tasty meat). This exotic coffee drink deserves a little paper umbrella.

Ingredients:
* 1 whole coconut
* 2 cups milk
* 4 cups strong coffee
* 1 tbs sugar

Preparation:
Punch 2 holes in the coconut and drain the liquid into a small saucepan. Bake the coconut in the oven (300F) for about half an hour. Use a hammer to break open the coconut, and scrape out the white coconut meat. Mince finely. Add the meat and milk to the liquid in your saucepan. Heat over low until thickened and creamy. Strain out the coconut pieces. Add hot coconut milk to coffee and sugar. Serve.

* Whipped cream

Preparation:
Heat the milk and chocolate together in a saucepan until melted and smooth. Stir in coffee and serve with whipped cream on top.

Cinnamon Caramel Coffee

Add the cinnamon before brewing to give this recipe spicy touch. You'll need to stir well to blend in the caramel syrup.

Ingredients:
* 6 tbs ground coffee
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* 1/2 cup caramel dessert syrup

Preparation:
Mix the cinnamon into your loose ground coffee and then brew a pot of coffee by whatever method you prefer. Add the caramel syrup to the cinnamon-spiced coffee, and stir well until completely dissolved. Chill through in the fridge, and serve over ice cubes, with added milk or sugar to taste. The syrup makes this iced coffee pretty sweet as it is.
