 Mexican Coffee

In Old Mexico  Somewhere in the back of my head was the term, "Mexican coffee."  I didn't quite remember what it was, except for a dim recollection that it combined coffee with chocolate.  It's hard to dislike anything that combines coffee and chocolate, so I decided to dig up the old recipe.

Anyway, making Mexican Coffee is simple and straightforward, and everyone loves it:

  1. Make 6 cups of strong coffee in a coffee maker;

  2. In a saucepan, combine 1 cup of whole milk, ¼ cup chocolate syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon.

  3. If you have a big enough saucepan, put the coffee in the saucepan; if not, put the milk and chocolate mixture in the coffeepot.  The idea is to combine the two.

That's it, really.  Some folks add whipped cream (needless indulgence, and non-authentic), some folks add a couple of teaspoons of sugar or brown sugar to the mix.  Personal taste.

organic Mexican coffee

 

What coffee to use?  Well, to be authentic, it sure wouldn't hurt to use coffee from Mexico.  And to feel good about the coffee you're drinking, try buying coffee that's organic and sold on a fair-trade basis.

I like the Mexico Organic coffee pictured on the left.  Something to consider.
