Café Con Leche - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 cup fresh ground coffee (use a darker roast, such as French roast, for best results)
2 cups boiling water
2 cups whole milk or 2 cups 2% low-fat milk
sugar
ground cinnamon (garnish) (optional)

Preparation

Place coffee in bottom of prewarmed French press. Add boiling water, replace lid (without lowering filter), and allow to brew for 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, place milk in a small saucepan. Bring just to boiling point (the first larger bubble breaking on surface), then reduce heat to barely simmering. Simmer gently for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until coffee is done.
After the 5 minutes are up, depress plunger on press to strain grounds. Divide coffee evenly between 4 mugs. Add hot milk to each cup in equal amounts to coffee.
Sweeten to taste. Garnish with a dash of cinnamon, if desired.
