Mexican Coffee Milkshake Food

CAFé DE OLLA

Steps:

• In a medium olla or pot, add water, piloncillo, cinnamon sticks, cloves and star anise pod.
• Place over medium-high heat and stir often until the piloncillo completely dissolves and the water comes to a boil.
• Remove the pot from the heat. Add the ground coffee, stir to combine, and cover. Let the coffee steep for 6 minutes for regular strength coffee or 8 minutes for extra-strength strength coffee.
• Pour the coffee through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a coffee mug and serve.
• Enjoy as is or add some milk for a cafe con leche.

MEXICAN COFFEE

Steps:

• Place coffee, cocoa and cinnamon in a filter for coffee brewing. Make 4 cups of brewed mocha-cinnamon coffee. Pour a shot of coffee liquor in the bottom of a coffee mug. Pour in a serving of brewed mocha-cinnamon Mexican coffee. Top off the mug with a generous swirl of whipped cream and garnish with another sprinkle of cinnamon. Repeat for desired number of mugfuls!

MEXICAN COFFEE

Steps:

• Frost rims of 2 cups with sugar. Pass it through the fire, gilding the edge little by little. Add the tequila and the coffee liqueur to them tilting the cup a little towards the fire so that the liqueur begins to flame. Dust with cinnamon. Immediately add hot coffee and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Top with a cherry.

MEXICAN CHOCOLATE MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• Combine the ice cream, milk and chocolate syrup in a blender and blend until smooth, 10 to 15 seconds. Serve immediately, topped with a dollop of whipped cream, if using, and a pinch of chile powder, if desired.

COFFEE SAMBUCA SHAKES

Steps:

• Combine coffee, half-and-half or cream, liqueur and ice cream in blender and process until smooth. Pour shake into a tall glass and garnish with whipped cream and a few chocolate covered beans.

COFFEE MILKSHAKE

Steps:

• To make double strength coffee, measure 1 2/3 cups of Starbucks coarsely ground coffee into a 12-cup coffee press.
• Add water that has just come to a boil.
• Allow to brew 4 minutes, then push plunger down.
• Pour into an ice-filled pitcher.
• Combine coffee, milk and ice cream in a blender and blend until smooth.
• Makes 1 serving.
• (Rachael Ray and Paula Deen both add sugar to their shakes, and I've started adding at least one packet of Splenda to mine. Just makes them so much better).
