Cafe de Olla

A sweet coffee drink, made with chocolate and cloves. Preparation is a bit unusual. You steep the coffee grounds with the other ingredients instead of traditional brewing.

8 cups water
4 oz ground coffee
4 oz sugar (brown)
2 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
1 square of chocolate (semi-sweet)

In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil, then add cinnamon, cloves, sugar and chocolate.

When the mixture comes back to a boil, skim off foam. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then add coffee. Steep for 5 minutes then strain out the coffee grounds and spices. Serve immediately

Serves 8
