Caffeine is a reference value for this drink and brew method, not a measurement of your cup.
Café Bombón preparation
- Pour 30ml of cold sweetened condensed milk into a 90ml heatproof glass.
- Pull a single espresso (9g in, 18g out).
- Pour the espresso slowly over the back of a spoon so it sits on the milk in two clean layers.
- Serve with a long spoon and let the drinker do the stirring.
Equal parts espresso and condensed milk is the Valencian ratio. The layering only works if the milk is cold and the pour is slow.
