Drescription

Café Mexicano, or spiced café de olla, is a traditional Mexican coffee brewed with cinnamon, cloves, and piloncillo (unrefined cane sugar). Rich, aromatic, and warmly spiced, it’s a comforting and flavorful way to start the day.

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup ground dark roasted coffee, medium to coarse grind
  • 1 quart water
  • 1 cinnamon stick
  • one 3-inch piece orange peel
  • 5 ounces piloncillo* or 1 cup packed dark brown sugar

Directions

  1. In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the coffee grounds with 1 quart water, the sugar, cinnamon and orange peel. Stir to combine and bring to slow boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Remove from the heat and let steep, covered for 5 minutes. Strain, through a fine mesh strainer, into cups and serve.
