Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Strong coffee (brewed)
- 1 cup Whole milk
- 1 teaspoon Granulated sugar (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method, such as a stovetop espresso maker, French press, or drip coffee machine.
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
If you have a milk frother or handheld whisk, foam the milk for a creamy texture. This step is optional.
Pour the brewed coffee into a heatproof mug, filling it halfway.
Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug, filling it to the brim. If you frothed the milk, spoon the foam on top of the coffee for a classic cafe latte style.
Taste the mixture and sweeten with granulated sugar if desired, stirring well to combine.
Sprinkle a light dusting of ground cinnamon on top for garnish, if preferred.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Puerto Rican Cafe Con Leche!
