Coffee

Mexican coffee is delicious. Not many people know that. The coffee that I like the best is the traditional form called café de olla. It's very easy to prepare. All you need is a large clay pot (or olla) to make it in. Heat the water in the clay pot. Add the ground coffee and most importantly some sticks of cinnamon. You should also add piloncillo instead of sugar. Make sure it doesn't boil but just simmers away nicely. Serve in clay cups or mugs for the most authentic experience. By the way, piloncillo is unrefined Mexican brown sugar.
