That might look like your regular old cup of joe, but oh, it's so much more. My aunt and uncle gave us this awesome cookbook filled with recipes from around the world. As I was flipping through it the other day I came across a recipe for mexican coffee and I knew I had to make it. And with only three ingredients, why shoudn't I?
Now, this probably isn't for the die-hard coffee folks, but if you like a little something special every now and then, I think you might just like this. All it takes is some sugar and a cinnamon stick in the bottom of your coffee pot. Brew your coffee, let it sit for a bit and you're done. That's it!
The result is a ridiculously tasty cup of sweet coffee. The cinnamon proves to be a perfect pairing for the richness of coffee. I usually need to add a touch of milk to my coffee, but there is no need. Yuuummm!
Mexican Coffee
