Café con Leche

Cubans have been serving “café con leche” for decades down in Miami.

1 cup strong dark roast gourmet coffee or espresso
1 cup hot milk

This traditional Spanish and French drink is prepared by simultaneously pouring
equal amounts of hot, strong dark roast coffee and hot milk into a large cup. The milk
can either be heated in the microwave or stove top. The Cuban version is actually
prepared with a cup of hot milk and a shot of Cuban coffee poured into it. Sugar is a
must to fully appreciate this drink.
