How to Make Caf De Olla Mexican Spiced Coffee
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 4 ounces of piloncillo (or 1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar), 2 cinnamon sticks, 3 star anise, and 6 whole cloves.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the piloncillo is completely dissolved.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the spices to infuse.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup of coarsely ground coffee.
- Cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
- While the coffee steeps, heat 1 cup of evaporated milk in a small saucepan over medium-high heat.
- Whisk constantly until the milk is frothy and just begins to simmer (do not boil).
- Remove the frothed milk from the heat.
- Strain the coffee mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into individual mugs or a serving pitcher.
- Serve immediately, topping each serving with the frothed evaporated milk.
