You'll love this Spanish coffee recipe 🇪🇸


Hey coffee lovers!

Did you know the Spanish Latte isn't from Spain? 🇪🇸

This creamy, indulgent drink originated in Southeast Asia, where condensed milk has long been a coffee staple. The name likely comes from its similarity to Spanish café con leche – but with a luxurious twist, making it a viral sensation in specialty cafes.

Recipe:

First up, buy a coffee bean that's popular in Spain. We rounded up some choices here.

Warm your glass with hot water, then dry completely

Rim with lime and roll in demerara sugar

Add 1.5 oz aged rum

Carefully light the rum and slowly rotate glass to caramelize sugar

Add: 3 oz hot coffee 0.5 oz Kahlúa 0.5 oz triple sec

Top with whipped cream

Optional: dust with ground cinnamon​

Tip: For the perfect microfoam, try this barista trick: when steaming your milk, position your wand slightly off-center. This creates a whirlpool effect that helps break down larger bubbles, giving you that silky texture that defines a propercafé con leche .

Happy brewing!

He’s selling shares in a crowdfunding Mossgiel Organic Dairy campaign to produce more milk. Owner Bruce Cunningham wants to expand his operation out of Scotland and start...
