How to Make Tradtional Mexican Coffee
- In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cinnamon stick (approximately 4 inches), 2 whole cloves, 1/2 teaspoon of piloncillo (or brown sugar), and a pinch of salt.
- Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture is fragrant (about 3-5 minutes).
- Add 1/2 cup of coarsely ground dark roast coffee.
- Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low, simmer for 2 minutes, and stir gently.
- Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes to allow the coffee grounds to settle.
- Carefully pour the coffee through a fine-mesh strainer into mugs, or enjoy it traditionally with the grounds for a bolder, grittier experience.
