Found for the World Tour 2005, this looks like something dh would love! A Mexican recipe, it has been called ' "funeral coffee" because it is always served at the velorios - all-night wakes - with large trays of sweet rolls.'

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

    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!

    I like my coffee strong so I used the equivalent of 4 heaping teaspoons of coffee and added Splenda brown sugar. This was still a bit too sweet for me but the co-workers loved it. I did love the cinnamon and the richness the brown sugar added.
