Put a cube of sugar, a dash of orange juice, a dash of lime juice, the coffee and the cinnamon stick in the cup. Stir slightly. Soak the other cube of sugar in the cognac (brandy) for a couple of minutes. Place into a teaspoon and hold so that it will rest on top of the cup of coffee. Ignite. Hold until flame burns out and drop contents into the coffee

Whenever possible, use fresh squeezed orange and lime juice. There´s at least 1 1/2 oz. (= 4,5 cl = 1 shot) of juice in every orange and at least 1/2 oz. (= 1,5 cl) in each lime.
