Café de Olla
Café de Olla is a delicious Mexican coffee that is traditionally made in an olla de barro, which is an earthen clay pot. But even if you don't have one, you can make it in a saucepan and still enjoy this sweet, cinnamon and spice flavored coffee hot or cold.

Pour water into clay pot or saucepan and place on stove top over medium high heat. Drop in piloncillo, cinnamon sticks, cloves & star anise, and stir occasionally as water becomes infused with spices and piloncillo dissolves. This will take about 15 minutes. (Note: this coffee may be too sweet for some, so you can start with 6oz. of piloncillo and taste to decide if you want to use the remainder.) Bring to low boil, then add in ground coffee and mix. Cover with lid, turn off burner, and let steep 5-10 minutes. Use a fine mesh strainer lined with cheese cloth to prevent coffee grinds from ending up in your cup while serving. Enjoy!
