Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee (preferably espresso)
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon sugar (optional, to taste)
Directions
Step 1
Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using an espresso machine, Moka pot, or your preferred brewing method. Set aside.
Step 2
In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat until it begins to steam and tiny bubbles form around the edges, but do not let it boil. Stir occasionally to prevent scorching.
Step 3
For a frothy texture, optionally use a milk frother, whisk, or immersion blender to foam the steamed milk lightly.
Step 4
In a large coffee mug, pour the brewed coffee.
Step 5
Slowly add the steamed milk to the coffee, holding back the foam with a spoon and then spooning the foam on top (if desired).
Step 6
Sweeten the café con leche with sugar, if desired, and stir well.
Step 7
Serve immediately and enjoy your warm and comforting café con leche!
