We recommend putting 1/2 cup of hot milk in a mug first, then slowly adding the hot coffee. We can tell you that the typical proportion is about 1/3 cup of coffee to 2/3 cup hot milk. Everyone’s tastes are different and microwaves vary in how much power (watts) they use, so we can’t tell you exactly how much milk to use or how long to leave it in the microwave.

Mix Together: Once you've heated the milk and the coffee is ready, it is time to mix them.

In Spain, you’ll probably find most restaurants serving whole milk, but 2% milk makes a great café con leche in our opinion.

Heat the Milk: Although you can heat the milk on the stovetop in a pan, it’s hard to clean that up! We have found it is easier to pour the approximate amount of milk we will use in a large cup and put it in the microwave until it is almost boiling.

When you hear air spurting and the top of the pot is full of coffee, it’s ready and you can turn the burner off. As a fan of the enemies to lovers trope, I enjoyed the dynamic between Theo and Gabi as they come together to save their family restaurants, and the differing dynamics between both families are well-written. Place the coffee pot on the stove and heat until the water boils up into the top chamber and it fills up. Caf Con Lychee by Emery Lee combines rival restaurants with secret scheming in a story of unlikely friendship and embracing one’s true self. Fill the metal filter area in the middle with finely ground coffee and screw the pieces together.

To Make the Coffee: Simply fill the bottom portion with cold water.

So when a new fusion café threatens both shops, Theo and Gabi realize an unfortunate truth-they can only achieve their goals by working together to cook up an underground bakery operation and win back their customers.

Stuck under the weight of his parents’ expectations, Theo’s best shot at leaving Vermont means first ensuring his parents’ livelihood is secure. Stuck in the closet and scared to pursue his own dreams, Gabi sees his parents’ shop as his future.

Their parents own rival businesses-an Asian American café and a Puerto Rican bakery-and Gabi’s lack of coordination has cost their soccer team too many games to count. Theo Mori and Gabriel Moreno have always been at odds. A must-read for fans of Casey McQuiston and Julian Winters. From the author of Meet Cute Diary comes a delectable rom-com that’s brimming with zest and a sprinkle of sweetness.
