Description
Start the day off right with a warm cup of traditional Puerto Rican Café Con Leche, made with ground Puerto Rican coffee, sugar and steamed milk. Ready in only 10 minutes, make it with a Fresh press, pour over, Mokapot, or your go-to coffee maker. This traditional Latin drink can be found at any given time in panaderías, restaurants and home kitchens across the island
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ground coffee
- 1/2 cup filtered water (for brewing the coffee)
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 tsp sugar
Instructions
- Brew your coffee according to the instructions on the coffee making device you’re using. See notes for directions if using a saucepan to make your coffee.
- While your coffee brews, add milk to a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a light simmer before killing the heat.
- Fill your cup with coffee until just halfway full. Add sugar and stir with a spoon. Pour steamed milk in to fill the cup. Enjoy!
Notes
Grandma’s Instant Coffee Method: combine instant coffee, sugar and milk in a saucepan and simmer together until the coffee infuses into the milk. Enjoy!
Colador Method: add water and bring to a simmer before adding in coffee grounds, simmering together for a minute, killing the heat, allowing it to steep for 2 minutes, then straining through your colador into a large cup. Add brewed coffee, sugar and milk to a clean saucepan and steam until hot.
