Cafe de Olla

Spiced Coffee

• 4 C water

• 1/3 C dark brown sugar, packed

• 1 cinnamon stick (3" length)

• 8 whole cloves

• 1 orange peel (3" length), white rind removed

• 1/2 C dark-roasted coffee, coarsely ground

• Milk (optional)

Combine water, brown sugar, cinnamon stick, cloves and orange peel in a saucepan. Heat over medium to high heat; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Lower heat; cover saucepan and allow mixture to simmer for about five minutes. Remove saucepan from heat; stir in coffee and allow to stand for about eight minutes, covered. Use a sieve or coffee filter to strain the coffee into four individual cups. Add milk, if desired. Serve.
