Kaeth

Ingredients

• ⅓ cup ground dark-roast coffee
• 3 cups water
• 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
• ½ teaspoon molasses (not blackstrap)
• 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
• 1 teaspoon crushed anise seeds
• 1.5 tablespoons finely grated orange zest
• 1 small pinch kosher salt

Instructions

1. Place the coffee in a French press and set aside.
2. In a medium saucepan over medium-high heat, combine the water, brown sugar, molasses, cinnamon stick, anise seeds, orange zest, and salt and bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Adjust the heat to medium and let simmer until the mixture is fragrant and reduced to about 2⅔ cups, about 14 minutes. Pour the mixture into the French press and stir to fully moisten the coffee grounds. Position the lid on the pot and let steep for 4 minutes before slowly pressing the plunger. Serve immediately.
