Method

Drinks - Cafe de olla

  1. 1

    Prepare aromatics and sweetener

    In a heavy pot over medium heat, combine the water, piloncillo, ground cinnamon, and orange zest. Stir until piloncillo begins to dissolve and the spices release aroma.

  2. 2

    Brew coffee

    Once the mixture comes to a gentle simmer, add the ground coffee. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4–6 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure even extraction.

  3. 3

    Finish and strain

    Remove from heat and let steep 2–3 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a warm teapot or directly into mugs to remove grounds and orange zest.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Pour hot into mugs. Optionally add a splash of milk or cream and adjust sweetness with additional piloncillo to taste.
