anyone with a recipe for cafe con leche?

[echandra]

Hey everyone! I'm looking for an authentic (or as close as I can get) recipe for cafe con leche. Anyone out there have one? My mom would love you if you did.

I know this was posted a while ago but I just ran across it. Doesn't "cafe con leche" directly translate to "coffee with milk"?

Yes. . . but I am trying to find out if it is made with sweetened condensed milk, evaporated milk, or both.

In that case, check any of these sites. Or google "cafe con leche recipe".

Basically it''s just a stronger brew of drip coffee, putting in a good amount of ice balances it out and makes it a bit more tolerable. From there just add regular cold milk to it. Either add sugar or a base syrup (not vanilla, use classic) to taste.
