Categories: Coffee, Hot Beverage

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons freshly ground dark-roasted arabica coffee beans (ground as appropriate for your coffee maker)
• 1 tablespoon ground roasted chicory
• 1 1/2 cups whipping cream, warmed (may use half-and-half or milk)
• sugar (optional)

Directions

1. Mix the coffee and chicory.

2. Using your favorite coffee maker (a manual drip model is traditional in New Orleans), brew the coffee mixture with 1 1/2 cups water heated to the point just below boiling.
3. Pour the coffee equally into 3 eight-ounce coffee cups or 2 twelve-ounce coffee cups and fill each with the same amount of cream (the ratio of coffee to cream should be 1:1).
4. Serve immediately with sugar, if desired.
