How to Make Tailgate Coffee

  1. In a large pot (at least 4 quarts), combine 8 cups of water, 1/2 cup molasses, and 2 cinnamon sticks. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  2. Remove from heat and carefully add 12 ounces of coarsely ground coffee. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 6 minutes. Stir gently halfway through.
  3. Remove from heat and let steep, covered, for an additional 2 minutes.
  4. Line a fine-mesh sieve or coffee filter with cheesecloth and carefully pour the coffee mixture through, discarding the grounds and cinnamon sticks.
  5. In a small saucepan, gently warm 1 (14-ounce) can of sweetened condensed milk over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent scorching.
  6. Slowly pour the warmed condensed milk into the strained coffee, stirring gently to combine.
  7. Serve immediately in mugs. Garnish each mug with an extra cinnamon stick for an elegant touch.
