Report
Café de Olla is prepared with sugar cane and spices. The name de olla means the coffee is served in earthenware/pottery. Cafe de Olla is a Mexican traditional hot non-alcoholic beverage which is prepared during the cold days in winter.

Ingredients
- 6 cups water
- ⅔ cups piloncillo sugar cane, jaggery
- 1 cinnamon stick 4 inches long
- 1 star anise
- 1 Clove Whole
- 5 Tablespoon coffee powder
- Paper Filters to filter coffee spices
Instructions
- Keep a pot with the water to cook and add the sugar cane (Jaggery/Piloncillo). Mix the sugar caner into the water, it won't dissolve directly but gradually while the coffee is cooking.
- Continue to add in the spices: cinnamon stick, star anise, and clove. Make sure at this point that the water is cooking.
- Then add the black coffee and mix into the liquid.
- Bring to a boil and simmer for about 5 minutes over slow heat.
- At the end, we need to filter the coffee because of the fine ground coffee sediments and sometimes the sugar cane can have impurities (that is why I don't add the sugar cane while serving) and besides we need to pick out the spices. So, what you do is you get a regular coffee filter, don't use a strainer it won't work, and best is if you just place the coffee filter into a filter coffee machine and then just pour the cafe de olla into the filter gradually one batch at a time. The coffee will get filtered and drip slowly into the jar below as it would do with regular coffee in the machine.
- After you have filtered the coffee you can heat up your coffee again to serve hot.
- Serve in earthenware/clay pots.
Notes
- I use a stronger variety of coffee blend for this cafe de olla recipe. I choose peaberry, freshly roasted and finely ground and roasted coffee beans, but you can use something like Arabica too if you want your coffee a bit milder.
