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)
- 0 as needed whipped cream (optional)
- 0 pinch ground nutmeg (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a small saucepan, combine the brewed coffee, cinnamon stick, ground cinnamon, cocoa powder, and brown sugar.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the spices to infuse into the coffee.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
Strain the coffee to remove the cinnamon stick and any undissolved cocoa if desired.
Step 6
Pour the spiced coffee into mugs. Top with whipped cream and a sprinkling of ground nutmeg for extra decadence, if desired.
Step 7
Serve hot and enjoy the rich, spiced flavors of this Mexican-inspired coffee.
