📝 Ingredients

  • 2 cups water
  • 4 tablespoons ground Mexican coffee
  • 1 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 cup milk of your preference
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Sugar to taste, (or sweetener of your choice)
  • Ground cinnamon for decoration (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

  1. 1Warm up water, it needs to be very hot but not boiling hot (If you have a coffee machine, perk up two cups of your preferred coffee).
  2. 2Measure ground coffee into the French press and pour hot water over it. Set aside.
  3. 3Warm up the evaporated milk and the milk. You can also use just one type of milk if you like, but the evaporated milk gives a special creaminess to this special treat. Add vanilla, as you wish.
  4. 4Pour half a cup of coffee into your coffee mug. Add milk, sweeten it and top with a dash of ground cinnamon to taste, repeat for each mug.
  5. 5If you like foam as I do, you can use a milk frother.
