In Mexico, this spiced coffee is more than a drink. It’s a ritual of warmth, shared in early mornings and quiet afternoons, filled with memories. It smells like cinnamon, earth, and comfort. It tastes like home, like pause, like sitting still long enough to feel held.
At Xinalani, café de olla (cinnamon coffee) often becomes a favorite, especially during cooler mornings or slower seasons. And once you’ve had it here, it’s something you'll find yourself missing long after you return home.
So today, we’re sharing the recipe. Not just so you can make the coffee, but so you can recreate the feeling. Highly recommend using a clay pot!
No rush. Let it settle. Let yourself settle too.
Eating is an act of celebration at Xinalani. We cook with love, and believe that every meal should be an opportunity to nourish both body and soul. After all, food is one of the main sources of prana: the vital life energy that fuels our physical and mental wellbeing.
