"The leaves fall, the wind blows, and the farm country slowly
changes from the summer cottons into its winter wools."
- Henry Beston, Northern Farm
Orange Cardamom Coffee
Seeds from 2 cardamom pods
1/2 cup whole coffee beans
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 cups cold water

Grind the cardamom seeds and coffee beans together in a coffee grinder. Using a standard coffee maker, spoon the coffee/cardamom mixture into a coffee filter. Sprinkle the cinnamon and nutmeg atop the coffee grounds. Pour cold water into the coffeemaker and brew.

Divide the coffee and Grand Marnier among 4 mugs and stir. Top each with a dollop of whipped cream, sprinkled with orange zest and serve.
