As a loving nod to the Middle Eastern corner store owners who caffeinated me throughout my high school days in Midtown, I decided to pair dukkahan Egyptian condiment consisting of herbs, spices, and nutswith seasonal blood orange, espresso, and milk. The nuts in the dukkah play beautifully with the chocolate and nutty undertones of the espresso, while the fennel and other herbs lend a complimentary contrast to the complex sweetness of the blood orange. Rounded out with milk, hot or iced, this blood orange dukkah latte is surprising as much as it is comforting.
