Cafe Con Leche Recipe
Unlike a Latte that is made with espresso and foamed milk, Café con leche is a coffee beverage consisting of strong or bold coffee, not necessarily a shot of espresso in a 1:1 ratio.
Ingredients
- 2 cups Water boiling
- ⅔ cup Coffee freshly ground
- 2 cups Whole milk
- Sugar to taste
Instructions
- Place fresh ground coffee in the french press
- Add boiling water, stir for two minutes, sit for five minutes
- Heat milk by stove top on moderate until almost boiling
- Simmer milk until the coffee has brewed
- Pour the milk over your coffee in a cup and enjoy
Notes
The coffee is made by stove top, french press or a percolator. Freshly Ground beans from a French Roast variety is desirable for its intense flavor as a milder coffee will be too light for the milk, and the coffee taste will diminish.
This recipe uses a french press; you can allow the coffee to sit longer in the boiling water if you desire a stronger flavor
