Coffee Flip with Nutmeg and Cardamom

Any non-alcoholic flip can be easily turned into alcoholic by adding a little rum, brandy or liqueur to it at the last stage of preparation. Conversely, make the alcoholic liqueur completely "innocent" by replacing the alcohol with a suitable syrup.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 40 ml strong coffee (espresso or brewed in cezve)
• 1 tsp brown sugar
• a piece of nutmeg the size of 2 match heads
• 2 boxes of cardamom
• ice

Directions

1. Remove the seeds from the cardamom pods and place them in a mortar. Add sugar and nutmeg. Pound as small as possible. Pour 2 tbsp. l. boiling water, let stand for 5-7 minutes.
2. Mix coffee with spicy syrup. Beat the egg until fluffy. Place ice in a shaker, add coffee and egg, shake, strain into a glass and serve immediately.
