Café con leche, or "coffee with milk," is a rich and creamy coffee drink that has been enjoyed throughout Latin America and Spanish-speaking countries for centuries. It combines equal parts espresso and steamed milk. To fully appreciate the caramel notes and dark aroma of our full-bodied Espresso, we recommend enjoying this drink unsweetened. While you can use a milk substitute, for the creamiest result, whole milk is the best choice.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 ounces of freshly brewed Café Mexicano Espresso
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of raw sugar, optional and to taste
Instructions:
- Start by preparing a cup of our espresso coffee using your preferred brewing method
- At the same time heat ½ cup of milk over medium heat (or microwave), whisking until the milk is heated through and steaming
- Add desired sugar to a cup and dissolve by whisking thoroughly using the first couple ounces of brewed espresso. Pour in the remaining espresso to completely dissolve the sugar
- Slowly add the steaming milk into the coffee cup, blending the two together
