Café de Olla Makes 6 servings 4 cups water 1/4 cup packed dark brown sugar or 4 ounces piloncillo (Mexican raw sugar cones) 2 cinnamon sticks 2 allspice berries 2 whole cloves 1 teaspoon anise seeds 1 cup dark roast coffee beans, medium grind or 3/4 cup pre-ground beans 2 cups low-fat milk In a saucepan, combine the water, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and anise. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring to melt the sugar. Stir in the coffee grounds, remove from heat, cover, and steep for 5 minutes. In a small saucepan, warm the milk over medium-high heat and carefully whisk until frothy. Strain the coffee through a fine sieve or a coffee filter into a pitcher. Serve the coffee in tall glasses with the frothed milk in a pitcher alongside. When adding the milk, about half coffee and half milk is the preferred ratio. |
