cafe con leche

Cuban morning drink

Cafe con leche is coffee made with hot milk, typically in equal parts or with milk predominating.

The Spanish term is standard in Cuban and Latin American contexts, where it names a breakfast staple: I'll have a cafe con leche and a tostada.

It differs from a latte mainly in preparation—the milk is usually scalded rather than steamed.
