How to Make Cafe Mexicano Ii

  1. In a 3-quart saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar, 4 ounces of Mexican chocolate (chopped), 2 whole cloves, and 1 cinnamon stick.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to meld.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of freshly brewed strong coffee.
  5. Cover the saucepan and let the mixture steep for 5 minutes to allow the coffee flavors to infuse.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract.
  7. Line a fine-mesh sieve with 4 layers of cheesecloth. Carefully pour the hot chocolate through the cheesecloth-lined sieve into a serving pitcher or individual mugs, discarding the solids.
  8. Serve immediately and enjoy! Garnish with whipped cream, cinnamon sticks, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
