How To Make Mexican Coffee (Cafe de Olla)
Put water in a medium sauce pan and bring to a boil.
Add all ingredients and continue to boil for at least 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and cover. Let stand for 5 to 10 more minutes.

I make a variation via Mr Coffee... I add ground cinnamon to the coffee grounds, then brew.

Good taste, but much easier to stir cinnamon and brown sugar into regular drip coffee. Same exact flavor.

I've been making Mexican coffee my whole life without even realizing it. I always add a dash of cinnamon - every since I was old enough to drink coffee. The flavors are great together.

Mexican coffee is pretty okay for me but my brother hates coffee.

We were recently in Mazatlan and the Mexican coffee served to us there also included orange zest. It was wonderful!
