Mexican Coffee (2 servings) 2 cups water 1/4 cup coarsely ground coffee 1 Tablespoon brown sugar or piloncillo (Mexican brown sugar) 1 cinnamon stick (4 or 5 inches long) To make this drink in its most authentic form, use an earthen clay pot to boil the ingredients. In lieu of earthen clay, a regular old medium sauce pan will work fine. The flavor of this coffee is distinctive because cinnamon and sugar are infused with coffee while boiling instead of being added later as an afterthought. Buena bebida!
