Spiced Coffee - crock pot

By devogirl

Even those who usually don't drink coffee will find this spiced blend with a hint of chocolate appealing. I keep a big batch simmering when I host a brunch or open house.

Ingredients

• 8 cups brewed coffee
• 1/3 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
• 1/2 tsp anise extract
• 4 cinnamon sticks (3 inches), halved
• 1 1/2 tsp whole cloves

Preparation

Step 1

In a slow cooker, combine the first 4 ingredients; mis well. Place cinnamon sticks and cloves in a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with string to form a bag. Add to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours. Discard spice bag. Ladle coffee into mugs; garnish with a cinnamon stick if desired.
