Ingredients

3 cups whole milk
1 cup whole organic coffee beans, 1/2 cup lightly cracked
1 1/2 3-inch cinnamon sticks, broken
4 whole green cardamom pods
1/4 cup honey
2 Tbsp. rum, such as Mount Gay (optional)

Directions

1. Step 1Place the milk and crushed coffee beans in a saucepan. Heat the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 7 minutes. Immediately remove from the heat and let the beans steep in the milk for 15 minutes.
2. Step 2Strain the coffee mixture and transfer to the jar of a blender. Discard the crushed coffee beans. Add the cinnamon sticks, cardamom, and honey to the steeped milk and blend on high speed until the spices are coarsely ground, about 30 seconds.
3. Step 3Strain the liquid back into the saucepan and discard the ground spices. Rewarm the spiced coffee over medium-high heat until the liquid is hot and steaming. Add rum, if desired. Pour into warmed coffee mugs, and serve hot.
