In Colombia, caf\u00e9 con leche is also widely known as perico. It is an everyday drink made with black coffee and hot milk, commonly enjoyed at family breakfasts, neighborhood caf\u00e9s, and traditional roadside eateries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Perico is often served with arepas, bread, almoj\u00e1banas, or eggs. Its gentler flavor compared with black coffee makes it a favorite way to start the day.<\/p>\n\n\n

Ingredients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • 300 ml freshly brewed Colombian coffee (1 \u00bc cups)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 300 ml whole milk (1 \u00bc cups)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 20 g grated panela (1 tablespoon), optional<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 10 g sugar (2 teaspoons), optional if not using panela<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Brew the coffee,<\/strong> make 300 ml of strong Colombian coffee using a coffee maker, cloth filter, or drip method. Let it rest for 1 minute so the flavor settles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Heat the milk,<\/strong> pour the milk into a small saucepan and warm it over medium heat until it is steaming hot, without allowing it to boil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Sweeten the drink,<\/strong> add the grated panela or sugar to the hot milk and stir until fully dissolved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Serve the perico,<\/strong> divide the hot coffee between two cups and pour in the sweetened milk. Stir gently and serve immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Practical tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • Use medium-roast coffee for a balanced flavor with the milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Do not boil the milk, as this can affect its texture and create a skin on top.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • For a stronger perico, use slightly more coffee than milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Sweeten to taste, although panela gives the drink a more traditional flavor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Traditional variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Many Colombian households drink perico unsweetened, especially when using fresh milk and good-quality coffee. It can also be made with stronger coffee for people who prefer a more pronounced coffee flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Traditional serving style<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

        Serve perico hot in medium-sized cups at breakfast. It is traditionally enjoyed with cheese arepas, fresh bread, almoj\u00e1banas, pandebono, or eggs prepared to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Recommended pairings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • Cheese arepas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Almoj\u00e1banas<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Pandebono<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Yuca bread<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Colombian-style scrambled eggs<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Soft Colombian bread rolls<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          A cultural note<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          In Colombia, ordering a perico often means ordering coffee with milk, especially in traditional caf\u00e9s and homes. The name is part of everyday Colombian vocabulary and reflects the warm, familiar role coffee drinks play in the country.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
