Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 12 ice cubes or coffee ice cubes (or more, if desired)
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk (at room temperature)
  • 3 cups hot, strongly brewed coffee or espresso

Instruction

  • In each of 4 tall glasses, place 3 or 4 ice cubes.
  • In each of 4 small cups, pour 2 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk and top off each cup with the coffee.
  • Set a tall glass of ice cubes and a small cup of coffee in front of each person. Give everyone a spoon, preferably long-handled. Instruct everyone to stir the coffee thoroughly to dissolve the sweetened condensed milk.
  • Then instruct everyone to place the spoon in the tall glass and pour the coffee over the back of the spoon. (Pouring the coffee onto the metal prevents the hot liquid from shattering the glass.) Stir briskly. Sip slowly.
