Indulge in the rich, velvety warmth of Café con Leche, a delightful Cuban coffee treat made with strong brewed coffee, creamy whole milk, and a hint of cinnamon. Perfect for a cozy morning or afternoon pick-me-up.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 cup water

Method

  1. 1

    Brew the coffee using your preferred method (espresso machine, French press, or drip). Use a strong coffee for the best flavor.

  2. 2

    In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling, stirring occasionally.

  3. 3

    Add the sugar to the hot milk and stir until fully dissolved.

  4. 4

    Once the coffee is brewed, pour it into two mugs, filling each about halfway.

  5. 5

    Slowly add the hot milk to each mug until it reaches your desired ratio of coffee to milk, typically 1:1.

  6. 6

    If desired, sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top for extra flavor.

  7. 7

    Serve immediately and enjoy your Café con Leche hot.
