Heat the water with the flavourings until boiling. Simmer for a few minutes, then stir in the coffee. Simmer for a further minute. Remove from the heat and allow to steep for about 5 minutes.
Strain into small cups.
Cook's note: A fragrant coffee is traditionally made in a clay pot, but a small saucepan will also work. Serve with Mexican cinnamon cookies.
