1. Add the cold water to a saucepan with the ground cardamom, ground ginger, allspice, grated fresh ginger, black pepper, ground cloves, salt, and half of the ground cinnamon. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

2. Reduce the heat to low and simmer uncovered for 5 minutes so the spices release their flavor.

3. Remove the pan from the heat, stir in the fine-ground coffee, cover, and let steep for 10 minutes.

4. Set a fine-mesh sieve lined with cheesecloth or a paper towel over a pitcher. Strain the spiced coffee, pressing the grounds to extract the liquid, then discard the grounds.

5. Meanwhile, whisk the almond milk, sweetened condensed milk, and granulated sugar in a small saucepan over low heat for about 3 minutes until warm and smooth. Do not let it boil.

6. Stir the warm milk mixture into the strained spiced coffee until fully combined.

7. Pour into serving mugs, dust each with the remaining ground cinnamon, and serve hot.
