Ingredients
Coffee Base:
1 cup strong brewed coffee (dark roast preferred)
2 tbsp piloncillo or brown sugar
1 stick cinnamon (canela preferred)
2 whole cloves
1 pod star anise
For Serving:
1 cup ice cubes
½ cup whole milk or heavy cream
¼ tsp vanilla extract
1 pinch ground cinnamon (for garnish)
Instructions
In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a simmer with the cinnamon stick, cloves, and star anise. Let simmer for 3–4 minutes to infuse.
Stir in the brewed coffee and piloncillo. Simmer for another 4–5 minutes, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
Remove from heat and strain the mixture into a heat-resistant container. Let cool to room temperature, then chill.
Fill two large glasses with ice. Pour the spiced coffee evenly over the ice.
Add milk and vanilla extract to each glass. Stir gently to mix.
Garnish with a pinch of ground cinnamon and serve immediately.
