Café de Olla
From 'Tu Casa Mi Casa' by Enrique Olvera An ideal pick-me-up to get you through those tough Monday mornings, especially as it can be made ahead of time and reheated when needed:
Ingredients
- 8 cups water
- 1 piloncillo cone, shaved
- 6 star anise
- 2 large cinnamon sticks
- Peel of 1 orange, in strips
- 90g freshly ground coffee
Recipe
- In a pot (preferably clay), combine the water, piloncillo, star anise, and cinnamon sticks and bring to a boil.
- Once the piloncillo dissolves, add the orange peel.
- When boiling, stir in the coffee vigorously for 5 seconds as the coffee rises, then remove from the heat.
- Cover and let sit for 5 minutes. Ladle right out of the pot and drink hot.
