1
Prepare the Coffee
In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add 1 cup of ground coffee. Stir well, cover, and let steep for 4-5 minutes.
2
Strain the Coffee
After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or coffee filter into a large mug or serving pitcher. Set aside.

3
Heat the Milk
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
4
Sweeten the Milk
Stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar and mix until dissolved. If desired, add 1 tsp of cinnamon or 0.5 tsp of vanilla extract for added flavor.

5
Combine Coffee and Milk
In a large mug, combine the brewed coffee and the prepared milk. Adjust the ratio according to your taste preference.
6
Serve Hot or Iced
For hot café con leche, serve immediately. For iced, allow the coffee to cool, pour over ice, and then top with the prepared milk.
