Mexican Spiced Coffee Recipe
Here’s another great specialty coffee recipe I like. It’s got a nice little kick to it and is really very simple to prepare. I love this one in the afternoon or at night. If you’re worried about not being able to sleep at night because of drinking coffee late, you can easily prepare this with decaf coffee.
Mexican Spiced Coffee
3/4 cup of brown sugar (firmly packed)
6 cloves
6 julienne slices of orange zest
3 cinnamon sticks
6 tablespoons of coffee (NOT instant)
1) In a large saucepan, heat six cups of water with the brown sugar, cinnamon sticks, and cloves over moderately high heat until the mixture becomes hot. Make sure not to let the mixture boil.
2) Add the coffee, bringing the mixture to a boil.
3) Allow it to boil for three minutes, making sure to stir it on occasion.
4) Strain the coffee through a fine sieve and serve in coffee cups with orange zest.
