Description
Café con Leche is a classic Spanish espresso drink made with freshly brewed espresso and steamed milk, offering a smooth, creamy texture and rich flavor. It’s the perfect balance of coffee and milk for a comforting and satisfying drink.
Ingredients
1 cup whole milk
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup brewed espresso (freshly brewed)
Instructions
- Heat the whole milk and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir as it heats, ensuring small bubbles form around the edge without letting it boil.
- While the milk is heating, brew the espresso.
- Pour the brewed espresso into two coffee cups and top each cup with the steamed, sweetened milk.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Café con Leche!
Notes
For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with plant-based milk like almond, oat, or soy milk.
Adjust the sugar to your taste for a sweeter or less sweet version.
For a flavored twist, add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the milk as it heats.
