Iced Cafe Cubano Recipes

CUBAN COFFEE (CAFECITO)

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• In a large stovetop espresso maker, brew coffee according to the manufacturer's instructions using fine-ground coffee.
• In a glass measuring cup with at least 2 cup capacity, add the sugar. Once a little bit of coffee has brewed, add about 1 tablespoon to the sugar. Reserve a little extra coffee concentrate in a small dish to use if needed. Place the pot back on the stove to finish brewing.
• Make the espuma by using a small whisk or spoon to vigorously beat the sugar and espresso until it is a pale brown, almost foamy paste, about 2 to 3 minutes. You cannot beat it too much.
• When the coffee has finished brewing, pour it over the espuma while stirring to incorporate. Let the foamy crema rise to the top.
• Pour into individual demitasse espresso cups . Shake the measuring cup a little and use a spoon as you pour to get crema into each cup.
• Serve and enjoy.
