Sweet Cinnamon Coffee: Café de Olla
This is a great early-morning energy booster, as well as a good beverage for those who need to stay awake later in the day. My husband calls it "funeral coffee" because it is always served at the velorios - all-night wakes - with large trays of sweet rolls.
Ingredients:
- 6 cups water
- 3 heaping teaspoons medium-grind coffee (not instant)
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar or piloncillo, or to taste
Preparation:
Bring the water to a boil. Add the coffee, cinnamon and sugar, and continue boiling for 30 seconds.
Stir and strain into hot mugs.
Serves 6.
