Brown Butter Cafe Brulot
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- Rind of 1 lemon, white pith removed
- Rind of 1 orange, white pith removed
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 5 whole cloves
- 1/2 cup orange liqueur (such as Triple Sec or Grand Marnier)
- 2 cups strong-brewed black coffee, still hot
- 4 cinnamon sticks, as garnish (optional)
- In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium-heat and cook until light brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes, swirling occasionally (watch carefully so as not to burn).
- Stir the brown sugar into the browned butter, then add the citrus rinds (I use a vegetable peeler to get the rind off of the pith of the fruit), 1 cinnamon stick, and cloves and stir. Cook about 2 to 3 minutes until fragrant.
- Briefly remove the saucepan from the flame to safely add the orange liqueur to the buttered spices and citrus mixture. Return to the flame and bring to a low simmer for 3 minutes, then add the brewed coffee and simmer another 4 to 5 minutes.
- Ladle into glasses, garnish with cinnamon stir sticks, if you like, leaving behind the solids in the saucepan, and enjoy while hot.
