Ingredients

2 oz strong Cuban espresso brewed dark and bold like Tía’s morning attitude
3 oz steamed whole milk frothed into silky con leche clouds
1 tablespoon sugar cane syrup stirred in for that golden barrio sweetness

Directions

Heat your cafetera on the stove until it sings like a salsa band warming up.
Pack the basket with fresh Cuban grounds and brew two strong shots that smell like home.
While the coffee drips, steam the milk until it whispers sweet nothings and doubles in volume.
Pour the hot espresso into your demitasse first like the boss it is.
Sweeten the brew with sugar cane syrup and give it a quick stir to dissolve the magic.
Gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso to create that perfect con leche swirl.
Whip up a little extra espumita on top if you’re feeling extra fancy today.
Present the cup with pride to your favorite person and watch their eyes light up.
Optional: dunk a slice of Cuban bread on the side for the full Calle Ocho experience.
