MOROCCAN COFFEE WITH SIX FRAGRANT SPICES
A jolt of Moroccan coffee with warming spices might just put body and soul back together at any time you like. I use double the amount of the spices. Use the amount that will best suit your taste.

Steps:
- Combine the spices with the coffee beans in a grinder and whirr until the beans are finely ground.
- Bring 4 cups of water to boil.
- Put some milk-a cup or more-in a small saucepan over a low flame to heat. Do not let it come to a boil.
- If you are making the coffee in a filtered maker: Pour the coffee mixture into the paper-lined brewing cup. Pour about 2 ounces of boiling water over the coffee to allow the grounds to "bloom." Then slowly add the rest of the water, allowing it to drip through the grounds into the pot below.
- Or (for Mikekey) if you are using a French press: Put the coffee and spice mixture in the bottom of the press pot. Pour in the requisite amount of boiling water, put the top in place and let the mixture steep for 4 to 5 minutes. Press the plunger down.
- Pour the spiced coffee into cups and add hot milk (and sugar) if desired. Serve at once.
MOROCCAN SPICED COFFEE
Tea often comes to mind when people think of Morocco, but the Moroccans also love coffee. This version is very milky and sweet, with only a mild coffee taste but some interesting spices you might not have thought to put with coffee. They use a tall, fairly narrow, coffee pot and Mohammed, who taught me how to make this, stressed the importance of letting the milk heat until it froths and rises up in the pot. Surprisingly, it did not burn as I had expected, knowing how easily milk can scald, although I would keep an eye on your milk just to make sure. Also, the Moroccans drink this very sweet, saying lots of sugar brings out the spices. Add sugar to your taste.

Steps:
- Put everything except the sugar in a coffee pot and heat over a gas flame.
- Keep on the heat for 3-4 minutes until the milk froths and rises up in the pot.
- Take off the heat and add sugar to your taste, remembering that sugar brings out the flavour of the spices.
