1
Boil Water
In a medium-sized pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
2
Brew Coffee
Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and add 0.5 cups of coarse ground coffee. Stir gently and let it steep for about 4-5 minutes.
3
Strain Coffee
Using a fine mesh strainer or a coffee filter, strain the coffee into a large coffee pot or pitcher, discarding the grounds.

4
Heat Milk
In a separate saucepan, heat 1 cup of whole milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to avoid scorching.
5
Add Sugar and Vanilla
Once the milk is heated, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is fully dissolved.

6
Mix Coffee and Milk
In a coffee mug, pour the brewed coffee and then add the hot milk mixture. Adjust the ratio according to your taste preference.
7
Garnish and Enjoy
Optionally, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top for additional flavor. Serve hot and enjoy your Café Con Leche!
