Coffee Recipe « Rated G Mexican Coffee

My best friend's husband gave me this recipe. When he was young, his uncle who owned a restaurant in Mexico City made this special drink for him. It has been a favorite in our house for many years.

Ingredients

• 6 cups water
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 (3 inch) cinnamon stick
• 1 whole clove
• ½ cup ground coffee beans
• ½ teaspoon vanilla
• ¼ cup chocolate syrup
• 1 cup whipped cream

Cooking Directions

1. Bring the water, sugar, cinnamon, and clove to a boil in a large saucepan over high heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, then remove from the heat, stir in the coffee grounds, cover, and steep for 5 minutes. Stir in the vanilla and chocolate syrup, then strain through several layers of cheesecloth to remove the coffee grounds and spices. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream.
