Espresso GROUND 250g - The Mexican Coffee People

Café de la Olla Syrup 225ml

Cinnamon sticks and oranges are classic sweet flavourings in Mexico. Mexicans use 'real' cinnamon sticks to provide soft, earthy, woody and perfumed flavours to their sweet treats, coffee and many savoury dishes too. We source the best (and most expensive) cinnamon sticks from Sri Lanka to flavour this syrup. The cinnamon sticks and spices are steeped in light muscovado sugar syrup for a day then crushed and allowed to steep some more before being strained out and a tiny bit of pure orange oil is added.Use to sweeten Mexican coffee for a 'cafe de la olla' flavour, but it does so much more!
