French Press Spiced Coffee: Turkish or Moroccan

French press coffee with Zamouri Moroccan and Turkish Coffee Spice jars and two patterned ceramic demitasse cups filled with coffee on matching saucers.

Enjoy it black, or add milk and sweetener to suit your taste.

Makes: One generous mug or several small demitasse servings
Brew time: 4 minutes

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the water. Bring fresh water to a boil, then let it stand briefly while you prepare the French press.

  2. Add the coffee and spice. Place the ground coffee and your chosen Coffee Spice blend into the French press. Use one blend per batch.

  3. Pour and stir. Pour the hot water over the coffee and spice. Stir gently to wet the grounds evenly.

  4. Steep for 4 minutes. Place the lid on with the plunger raised and start your timer.

  5. Press and pour. Slowly and gently lower the plunger. If you feel strong resistance, stop rather than forcing it. Pour promptly into your favorite mug or demitasse cups.

  6. Enjoy your way. Taste before adding milk or sweetener—the fragrant spices may be all you need.

Choose Your Coffee Adventure

Turkish Coffee Spice: Choose this blend for a fragrant, cardamom-forward cup.

Moroccan Coffee Spice: Choose this blend for a warm, cinnamon-forward cup.

Both blends season your own coffee; they do not replace the ground coffee.

Make It Your Own

One teaspoon of spice per 12 ounces of water makes a flavorful starting point. Adjust the spice and coffee amounts in your next batch to suit your taste.

Using a larger French press? Double the recipe to 24 ounces of water and 2 teaspoons of spice, keeping within your press’s recommended capacity.
