Let's use our unique Café Habana roast to give your café con leche an extra delicious kick. Ingredients Filtered water 2 tablespoons of Hey Pumpkin Coffee Company's Café Habana roast (finely ground) 10-12 ounces of milk 2 tablespoons sugar (or to taste) Equipment Moka pot or espresso machine Spoon and whisk A heating element for the milk; steamer, microwave, or stovetop Creamer or small bowl Instructions Prepare the espresso. Start by making the espresso with our Café Habana roast. Fill the bottom compartment of your Moka pot with water and add the finely ground Café Habana roast to the filter basket. Screw the top compartment on and place the Moka pot on your stove. Use medium heat to avoid scorching your coffee. Heat the milk. Using a milk steamer, stovetop, or microwave, heat your milk. Remember, you don't need to froth the milk at this stage; it just needs to be hot. Make sure not to boil the milk. Combine the espresso and milk. Pour your espresso shots into your coffee mug. Then, add the hot milk and stir well. For the perfect café con leche, you'll want a ratio of about 2/3 milk and 1/3 espresso. Make the espuma. Pour 2 tablespoons of sugar into a small bowl or creamer. Add an equal amount of espresso and whisk vigorously. The goal is to dissolve the sugar and form a light brown froth. Pour this delightful frothy mixture on top of your café con leche for that final touch of authenticity and flavor. Enjoy your perfectly made Café Con Leche, crafted with Hey Pumpkin Coffee Company's Café Habana roast! The strong flavor of our roast coupled with the creamy milk and delightful espuma will transport you to the bustling cafes of Havana, all from the comfort of your own home. Tips for a Delicious Homemade Café Con Leche Our Café Habana roast is a dark roast, which lends a strong flavor to your espresso. This strong flavor aligns with Latin American coffee preferences and enhances the authenticity of your café con leche. Whole milk is traditional, but feel free to use any kind of milk you prefer. Creating the espuma adds a layer of authenticity and fun to your café con leche, but if you prefer, you can also just stir in a little sugar.
