On day 20, add 4 whole cloves, then let steep from an additional day. Bring 2 cups sugar and 1 1/2 cup water to boil until sugar dissolves. Strain the alcoholic mixture through a cheesecloth.

A brewed drink prepared from the grinds of roasted coffee plant seeds. Coffee is a fruit!
Using a petty knife, remove the lemon and orange peels in one continuous strip so that they form a spiral. As you peel the fruit, hold it over a brulot bowl (or pot) so that any juices fall into the bowl.
With the flesh aside. Place the lemon peel in the brulot bowl and set it over a Sterno heater (or low flame). Add the triple sec, brandy, and cinnamon stick. Stud the orange peel with the cloves.
Hold the studded orange peel with a fork over the brulot bowl. Carefully ignite the brandy mixture and use a spoon to ladle the flaming liquid over the orange peel.
Slowly pour the coffee into the bowl to extinguish the flames. Ladle the coffee into demitasse cups and sweeten to taste with freshly-squeezed juice from the peeled orange.
