Spiced or

I've been making this Mexican-East Indian flavored coffee for years and the thought never occurred to me of posting the recipe until recently. To "Chai-ify" the coffee, add 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper. I use our Bialetti stainless steel stove-top espresso coffee maker from Italy to prepare this. Feel free to substitute ground spices for the whole.
