Moroccan Spiced Coffee

Ingredients

1/2 cup whole coffee beans (or 6 tablespoons freshly ground coffee)

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon ground ginger

1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom

1/4 teaspoon kosher salt (I did less but I think I'll leave it out completely next time)

1/8 teaspoon ground clove

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/8 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

4 cups water

Cream and sugar (optional)

Instructions
If using whole beans:

Place the coffee beans and spices in a burr grinder and grind on the coarsest setting until you reach a rough texture similar to breadcrumbs. Pour the spiced grounds into the bottom of a French press.
If using ground coffee:

In a small bowl, stir together the spices and the coffee grounds. Pour the spiced grounds into the bottom of a French press.

In a stovetop or electric kettle, heat the water to around 195 degrees. You can do this by bringing it to a boil and then letting it rest for around 1 minute.

Once the water is ready, pour about 1/2 of the water over the coffee and let it sit for 30 seconds.

Use a spoon to gently stir the mixture and then add the rest of the water. Place the lid on the French press and leave the plunger all the way up. Let brew for 3 minutes.

Press the plunger all the way down and pour the coffee into cups. If you are not drinking it immediately, pour it into a carafe or pitcher for serving. If you leave it in the French press, it may become bitter.

Serve the coffee black, or with sugar and cream as desired.

I let it sit a few hours, came back and it was even spicier
