Ingredients

Servings
  • 4 cups water filtered
  • 2 clove whole
  • 1 cinnamon stick Ceylon, or half of a bigger one
  • 2 oz piloncillo see notes
  • ½ cup ground coffee

Instructions

  1. Add the water to a medium pot or olla de barro.
  2. Add in cloves, cinnamon, and piloncillo.
  3. Bring the water to a low simmer for 5 minutes, mixing occasionally to allow the piloncillo to dissolve.
  4. Stir in the coffee grounds and remove from heat. Do not boil the coffee or else it will taste bitter.
  5. Cover and allow to steep for 5 minutes.
  6. Use a mesh strainer with a cheesecloth on top to strain the coffee.
  7. Serve black or with a splash of milk.

Notes

  • If you cannot find piloncillo, substitute for ¼ cup of brown sugar or coconut sugar (for another paleo option).
  • See blog post for other serving suggestions and variations.
