How to Make Orange Spiced Coffee. There are two genres of coffee drinkers: purists and people with a sense of whimsy. I am (obviously) the latter, and will drink pretty much any kind of coffee, even—gasp—flavored. This horrifies my boyfriend, but he sweetens his coffee like a hummingbird, so his opinion does not count. Flavored coffee is fun, and I like fun. One of the easiest, most elegant ways to flavor your coffee is to mix spices in with your grounds (or grind them with your beans) pre-brewing.
But spices aren’t the only thing you can mix into your grounds for fun and flavor. The amount of zest you should add depends on how you take your coffee. The execution could not be easier: grate some fresh orange zest, mix it in with your grounds, and put your ground in the coffee pot and brew it like you normally would.
