Café de Olla

0
Popped in to the Town of Vincent Cappuccino Festival on the weekend and it reminded me how much I love spiced Mexican Coffee, Café de Olla i think...

That Little Mexican Place had a stand set up with some on the go, served piping hot, oversized styrofoam cup, in the blazing sun.
Probably the complete opposite to what I should have been enjoying but such a great drink.

To make this at home, here is my tip, and probably nothing like how its meant to be made...

Long Black Style Spiced Mexican Coffee for two...

To saucepan add; 1/2 litre cold water, 3 or 4 cloves, smashed up stick of cinnamon and a heaped tablespoon of palm sugar (or a decent brown sugar...), slowly bring to boil, then simmer for 5 -10mins.

Pour into desired drinking vessel and float a syrupy double ristretto over the top.
Drink immediately, then pour another. etc.
