café con leche

Spanish milk coffee

Café con leche is coffee with hot milk, a staple of Spanish and Latin American breakfast tables.

The ratio of coffee to milk varies by region but typically approaches equal parts, making it milder and creamier than coffee with just a splash of cream: I'll have a café con leche and a pastry.
