Café con LecheHot milk drinkClassic Builder's TeaHot infusion

Both drinks rely on milk, but in very different proportions. Café con Leche pours roughly equal parts hot milk, heated until steaming, over a double shot of espresso, so the milk is a full partner that softens the coffee's intensity into a rich, creamy cup. Builder's Tea instead brews black tea in freshly boiled water for three to five minutes, then adds only a splash of milk, so the strong, robust tea stays dominant while the milk mellows it to a pleasing tan. Sugar is optional in both, added to taste.
