Cafe Brulot Spice Mix

Café Brulot spice mix is made up of cloves, cinnamon, orange and lemon peel. The Cajun after-dinner drink consists of brandy, Grand Marnier and coffee. The spices give the drink an extra kick. The name “Café Brulot” translates to “burnt coffee” in French, referring to the flambéing process involved in its preparation. It’s a tradition that can be traced back to the 19th century, closely tied to the French Creole culture of New Orleans.

In New Orleans, flaming brandy infused coffee is enjoyed as a digestif after a special meal. Traditionally ladles of the coffee are flamboyantly decanted into silver bowls or cups at restaurants. Once the mixture is heated and the flavours are infused, the spirit is set on fire, creating a dramatic flame that is poured over the coffee. The idea of the flaming process is to obviously add a visual appeal, but it also enhances the flavours of the coffee.
