Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Decaf coffee grounds
- 2 oz Piloncillo (or dark brown sugar)
- 1 large Cinnamon stick
- 3 whole Cloves (optional)
- 1 strip Orange peel (optional)
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, combine the water, piloncillo (or brown sugar), and cinnamon stick.
If desired, add the cloves and orange peel for extra flavor. Stir gently.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until the piloncillo or sugar is fully dissolved and the liquid starts to simmer.
Once the water is simmering, reduce the heat to low and stir in the decaf coffee grounds.
Let the mixture steep gently over low heat for 5 minutes. Avoid boiling to prevent bitterness.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the coffee mixture rest for 3 minutes to allow the flavors to blend further.
Carefully strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a carafe or serving pot.
Serve hot in mugs, optionally garnished with a cinnamon stick or a slice of orange for an aromatic touch.
