6 cups water

1 cinnamon stick
4 tablespoons mexican dark brown sugar or piloncillo cones or brown sugar (to taste)

Directions

Bring the water to a boil.

I've made this twice now..first time with Turkish coffee which was a little strong and then with some Dunkin Donuts coffee I received from a swap partner..much better..the hint of cinnamon is lovely & I didn't find it too sweet at all but then I didn't really measure the sugar..just eyeballed it. I also added a little milk..Thanks for posting!

For years I've read in old cookbooks about "boiled" coffee but had never tried making it until today. This was quick and easy to make. I like strong coffee and used probably double the amount of grounds; filtered water and piloncillo. I also do not like black coffee, so I added some half and half. Thanks for posting!

Now this is what coffee should taste like! I just tried this for my morning coffee today. It was so easy to make, although I halved the recipe to make only 2 cups of coffee. I used brown sugar instead of piloncillo. Thanks for this super-yummy recipe!

It was too sweet and just....not right. It may be because I had to use ground cinnamon; my grocery store didn't have sticks. For that reason, I am not going to assign stars. ZWT5
