Cafe de Olla – Mexican Spiced Coffee
Literally means clay pot coffee

I love my coffee and I’m Mexican yet I’m embarrassed to admit that I didn’t know “cafe de olla” was a thing until about 5 years ago when my mom made it for Christmas Eve.

I told her it was a delicious combination and she said sure it is it’s called “cafe de olla.” “Cafe de what”, I said and why am I just finding out about this.😀
Anyway, here’s a recipe I found that I want to make as soon as I can get some piloncillo.

Do y’all like cafe de olla?

1 stick whole cinnamon (preferably Mexican)
1/2 fresh orange, unpeeled
