The mystique of making café de olla, Mexican coffee
"There is really no mystique to making coffee in Mexico. If you can boil water and have some cinnamon sticks, you can make coffee the way they still make it down on the rancho, the way it is still made in many small restaurantes and mercados (markets)."
"Diana Kennedy’s excellent book, The Cuisines of Mexico, provided my first instructions for making café de olla many years ago. And I probably learned from one of her books that an olla (pronounced OH-yah) is a round, earthenware pot, bulbous at the bottom, used for making coffee, hot chocolate, beans, soups, and much more. Mexican cooks swear that earthenware pots impart a better flavor."
