Café de Olla is a traditional way to prepare coffee in Mexico. Lightly sweetened, scented with cinnamon and star anise and served piping hot, this is a wonderful way to start your day. If you need a little self care this week, join me in making my very favorite morning beverage.

In a medium saucepan bring the water to a boil. Carefully add piloncillo, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and anise star.

Stir with a wooden spoon until the piloncillo dissolves, about 5 minutes. Add the ground coffee and stir, turn off heat, cover, and let steep for an additional 5 minutes.

Strain the coffee through cheesecloth and enjoy.
