Café Mexicana Ingredients

Method

Café Mexicana Directions

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, add 1 cup of coarse ground coffee and a cinnamon stick. Stir and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Flavorings

    Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the coffee into a large bowl or another pot. Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 2 ounces of chopped Mexican chocolate until well dissolved.

  3. 3

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. You can froth the milk if you prefer a creamier texture.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Pour the brewed coffee mixture into mugs, and top with the warmed milk. Add whipped cream on top if desired, and sprinkle with cocoa powder for an extra touch.
