Hello, my favorite people! Austin Carter welcomes you all to Beyond the Bayou Blog to make you sip the flavors of Mexican Coffee from my kitchen.
I remember having this coffee last time sitting at a Mexican restaurant with my cousin with the delicious Beef Taco and Baja Fish Tacos at my side. We both decided to spend our weekend in a different way. This Mexican Coffee after a long tiring adventurous day out invites me for more such amazing weekends.
I am not the only one who loved this recipe. Even my cousin wants me to recreate this recipe and share its love and charm with you all guys. So are you guys ready to adorn your breakfasts or evening snacks with the magic of this special Mexican coffee? Let’s begin!
Overview: How To Make Mexican Coffee?
Hey there, foodies! Today, I’ve got a delightful treat for you – my signature Mexican Coffee recipe. It’s a perfect blend of rich coffee, warm cinnamon, creamy milk, and decadent chocolate syrup.
To start, grind 3?4 cup of coffee beans and mix them with 2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon in your coffee maker’s filter basket. Add 6 cups of water and brew as usual.
While the coffee brews, in a saucepan, combine 1 cup of milk, 1?3 cup of chocolate syrup, 2 tablespoons of light brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Heat this mixture on low, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
Next, pour the brewed coffee into the milk mixture and stir well. Finally, add the vanilla extract for that extra flavor kick.
Your Spiced Mexican Coffee is ready to be enjoyed. Pour into mugs, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon if you like, and savor every sip of this comforting indulgence. For more such coffee options try our French Press Coffee.

What Is Different About Mexican Coffee?
Mexican coffee stands out for its unique flavors and processing methods. Grown in regions like Chiapas and Veracruz, it often features a medium body with hints of chocolate, cinnamon, and nutty undertones. What makes it distinct is the use of high-altitude Arabica beans and sometimes traditional Mexican spices like cinnamon. This creates a rich, aromatic brew that’s both comforting and flavorful, perfect for enjoying any time of day.
