There is a traditional way to make coffee in Mexico.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1285/cafe-de-olla/

The coffee is made in a clay pot, thus the name, pot coffee, café de olla.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1285/cafe-de-olla/

The drink is made with ground coffee, cinnamon and unrefined whole cane sugar called piloncillo in Mexico and panela in most of the rest of Latin America.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1285/cafe-de-olla/

The preparation is reminiscent of making Turkish coffee in that the ingredients are all cooked together.

http://buyorganiccoffee.org/1285/cafe-de-olla/

Our decided preference is to make this with healthy organic coffee.

Add water, cinnamon and panela to the sauce pan and simmer until the panela is dissolved.

This takes just a few minutes. Bring the water to a boil. Add the coffee. Turn off the heat. Stir briefly and then put a cover on the sauce pan. Wait five minutes and pour the coffee through a filter or strainer into cups to serve.
