Yield Makes 4-5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4-5 ounces piloncillo*, roughly chopped or 1/2 to 2/3 cup packed brown sugar, plus 1 teaspoon molasses
2 inches cinnamon stick
A few aniseeds (optional )
2/3 cup (2 ounces) Viennese-roast coffee, medium to coarse grind
*Unrefined sugar that is pressed into cone or disk shapes. Also called panela.

Steps:

  • Boiling and steeping: In a noncorrosive pan, combine 1 quart water, the sugar, cinnamon and optional aniseed. Bring slowly to a boil, stirring to melt the sugar. Stir in the coffee, remove from the fire, cover and steep for 5 minutes.
  • Straining: Strain the coffee through a fine-mesh sieve into cups or mugs and serve immediately.
