Cafe con Leche with Cuban Toast

Zutaten

• 1/4 cup Cuban espresso (or more to taste)
• 1/2 cup whole milk
• 2 teaspoons granulated sugar (or more to taste)
• Pinch of salt (optional)

Zubereitung

1. 1

   Fill your espresso maker with water and ground espresso according to the manufacturer's directions. Place on the stove at medium-high heat and brew the espresso. Set aside.

2. 2

   In a saucepan, heat the milk until very hot (close to boiling). Remove it from the heat and transfer to a coffee mug. If you’re using a microwave, pour the milk in a coffee mug and heat up on HIGH for 1 minute or until very hot. Stir in the sugar.

3. 3

   Once you’ve heated the milk and coffee is ready, start with 1/4 cup of coffee. Pour coffee into the mug and stir until light brown/beige color.

4. 4

   Taste adjust as necessary. If you want more coffee flavor, add more coffee. If you want it sweeter, add more sugar. If you wanted to elevate the flavor, you can add a very small pinch of salt to the cafe con leche. Enjoy!
