Café Colada
Colada is the Cuban version of espresso. It is created by mixing brown sugar with a espresso and features a sugary-sweet, creamy foam called espuma. Traditionally it is served in small Styrofoam cups and drunk in one shot. Remember, Cuban Coffee is meant to be shared. The recipe below serves 6.
What You'll Need
- 4 tablespoons your favorite Cuban Coffee Queen Dark Roast, finely ground
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- A moka pot
- A mixing cup

- Prepare the brown sugar mixture by combining the brown sugar with the first coffee drops from your moka pot.
