Ingredients

• 12 Whole chestnuts
• 2 cups Water
• 2 cups Freshly brewed coffee
• 1 cup Whole milk (or a dairy-free alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0 optional Whipped cream
• 0 optional Ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Using a sharp knife, score an 'X' on the flat side of each chestnut to allow steam to escape during roasting.

Step 2

Spread the chestnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast them in the oven for around 20 minutes, or until the shells curl back at the scored 'X' and the nuts are golden brown inside.

Step 3

Remove the chestnuts from the oven and let them cool slightly. Peel the shells and inner skins while they are still warm. Reserve the roasted chestnuts.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, combine the peeled chestnuts and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 10 minutes to soften the chestnuts further.

Step 5

Using a blender or an immersion blender, carefully blend the chestnuts and their cooking liquid until smooth. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean bowl or saucepan to create a silky chestnut puree.

Step 6

In the same saucepan with the strained chestnut puree, add the freshly brewed coffee, milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk all the ingredients together and gently heat over medium-low heat until warm (do not let it boil).

Step 7

Taste the coffee mixture and adjust sweetness by adding more brown sugar if desired.

Step 8

Pour the Roasted Chestnut Coffee into mugs. Optionally, top with whipped cream and sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon for added warmth and aroma.

Step 9

Serve immediately and enjoy this nutty, indulgent drink!
