A Pati Jinich Recipe
Café de Olla
6 servings
Ingredients
- 9 cups water
- 6 tablespoons coarsely ground dark roasted coffee
- 4 ounces piloncillo, or about 8 to 9 tablespoons grated (can substitute for dark brown sugar) and can add more or less to taste, depending on how sweet you like it
- 1 cinnamon stick
To Prepare
- Heat water in a pot. When it comes to a rolling boil, lower the heat to low and add the coffee, piloncillo and cinnamon stick. Simmer for about 5 minutes, give it a couple stirs and turn off the heat. Let it sit covered for about 5 more minutes. Strain before serving with a fine strainer or cheesecloth. Or then again, pour into a french press, press down and serve.
