Method
- Brew the coffee slightly stronger than usual because the basi and optional milk soften its flavour.
- Warm the basi with brown sugar, orange peel, and cinnamon over low heat for 1–2 minutes; do not boil hard.
- Remove the peel and divide the warm basi mixture between two heatproof cups.
- Pour in hot coffee and stir.
- Taste and add more sugar only if needed; basi varies in sweetness and strength.
- Add a small splash of evaporated milk if desired, or serve black to keep the fermented sugarcane character clear.
- Serve immediately in small portions.
