Here's a recipe for making Gibraltar Café con Leche:

Ingredients:

• 2 shots of espresso (approximately 2 ounces)
• 4 ounces of whole milk

Instructions:

1- Start by brewing two shots of espresso using your preferred method. You can use an espresso machine, a stovetop espresso maker, or any other espresso brewing method you have available.

2- While the espresso is brewing, heat the milk. Pour the milk into a small saucepan or a milk frother.

3- Heat the milk over medium heat until it reaches around 150-160°F (65-70°C). Make sure to stir occasionally to prevent scalding.

4- Once the milk is heated, remove it from the heat source. If you have a milk frother, you can froth the milk until it becomes creamy and has a velvety texture. If not, you can simply whisk the milk vigorously to create some foam on top.

5- Pour the hot espresso shots into a Gibraltar glass or any other small glass of your choice.

6- Slowly pour the heated and frothed milk into the glass with the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.

7- Spoon the remaining foam on top of the café con leche, creating a creamy layer.

8- Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious Gibraltar Café con Leche!

Feel free to adjust the ratio of espresso to milk according to your personal preference. Some people prefer a stronger coffee flavor, while others prefer a creamier texture with more milk.
