A delightful twist on the traditional Mexican café de olla, this recipe adds a touch of orange zest for a refreshing aroma.
In a saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil.
Use filtered water for the best coffee flavor.
Add the ground coffee, cinnamon stick, orange zest, and grated piloncillo to the boiling water.
Stir gently to ensure the piloncillo dissolves completely.
Reduce the heat and let the mixture simmer for 5 minutes to infuse the flavors.
Cover the saucepan partially to retain the aroma.
Strain the coffee into mugs and serve hot.
Warm the mugs beforehand to keep the coffee hot longer.
