I love the flavor of orange zest and spices in a café de olla, so I created a concentrated syrup that is ready on demand to flavor any cold brew. Coconuts are grown all along the Pacific coast of Mexico; use coconut milk to add richness and even more tropical flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my iced café de olla didn't turn out as good as I expected. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my iced café de olla turned out bitter. I think I might have used too much coffee.
