Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups brewed coffee
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 0.25 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoons brown sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups milk (optional)
- as needed whipped cream (optional)
- pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, cinnamon stick, ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, and brown sugar.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the cocoa powder and sugar dissolve completely.
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse into the coffee.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. If you prefer creamier coffee, stir in the milk and heat gently for another 1-2 minutes, but do not boil.
Strain the coffee to remove the cinnamon stick and any undissolved cocoa if desired.
Pour the spiced coffee into mugs. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkling of ground nutmeg for extra decadence, if desired.
Serve hot and enjoy the rich, spiced flavors of this Mexican-inspired coffee.
