Coffee Recipes: Café Bombón

Café Bombon was made popular in Valencia, Spain, and spread gradually to the rest of the country. For visual effect, a glass is used, and the condensed milk is added slowly to sink underneath the coffee and create two separate bands of contrasting colour – though these layers are customarily stirred together before consumption. Some establishments merely serve an espresso with a sachet of condensed milk for patrons to make themselves.
