I made this coffee for my boyfriend and he liked it a lot. It was a very enthusiastic response. I also added brown sugar after I read Chef Kate's review and I think it worked well. Thanks!

    I made this exactly as stated, using fresh ground French roast. I tasted it hot and loved it, but really wanted to try it iced. FABULOUS! I do like my coffee sweetened so added some dark brown sugar. I'm sipping it now and loving it. I bet it would also be fabulous as the coffee part of a latte breve. Many thanks, Engrossed.

    A very nice way to start the day! I used my coffeemaker and decaf coffee. With a touch of sugar, this was mmm-mmm good!

    I tried this for ZWT and since it was a hot afternoon, I iced it. I think realbirdlady was right about the spices being too pronounced cold, but I have it in a stack to try hot on a cool morning. I bet it will really hit the spot.
