Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup Milk (whole or your preferred alternative)
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.125 teaspoon Cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)
- 1.5 cups Ice cubes
- 0.5 cup Whipped cream
- 1 teaspoon Chocolate shavings or ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
Brew a strong batch of coffee using your preferred brewing method. Set aside to cool to room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
In a small saucepan, combine milk, sugar, ground cinnamon, and cayenne pepper (if using). Heat gently over medium heat, stirring often, until the sugar dissolves completely and the mixture is well-infused with the spices (about 3-4 minutes). Do not let it boil.
Remove the milk mixture from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
Fill two tall glasses with ice cubes (about 3/4 of the way full).
Pour 1 cup of chilled coffee into each glass, followed by 1/2 cup of the spiced milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream and garnish with chocolate shavings or a light sprinkling of ground cinnamon.
Serve immediately with a straw or spoon and enjoy your Chilled Mexican Coffee!
