Ingredients

3 oz strong coffee brewed porch-drip style, the soul of every Cuban morning
2 tsp panela, grated like tía's secret recipe for sweetness
1 generous splash rum, just enough to make the cup wink back at you

Directions

Fire up the cafetera on the back porch and let the water heat until it hums like tía humming boleros.
Add the coffee grounds and let it drip slow and strong, filling the air with that deep Calle Ocho aroma.
While it brews, grate the panela into your favorite mug so it melts into the first pour.
Pour the hot coffee straight into the mug, watching the panela dissolve like secrets in the family.
Add that splash of rum and give it one gentle stir with a spoon, no shaking, just tía-approved calm.
Set the mug on the counter, let the steam rise, and call the family over before it cools.
Serve proud with a warm smile and maybe a slice of Cuban bread for dunking if someone asks nice.
