Cafe Latte Latino

Hi Friends,
One of the greatest things that I enjoy is to cook and share with friends. When my friends come to visit me, I always try to let them taste some of our dishes and they always ask me for the recipe. Lately, I am cooking only during weekends because of my studies. I am looking for some recipes that are tasty, fast and easy to do. I will also share some of my weekend recipes and others for when you really do not have time to cook. The recipes are not original mine, I have adopted them through years and they are really good! I hope you enjoy them.
Now that Fall is here and the nights are getting cooler, how about tasting a nice hot cup of caffe latte. You will not have to go out of your house to enjoy it. The recipe for today is:

Cafe con Leche (Cafe Latte)

Ingredients
4 tablespoons of coffee (your favorite)
4 cups of water ( 3 cups of water for stronger coffee)
2 cups of milk
sugar or Splenda as you like
Procedure:
Brew your coffee in your coffeepot as usual. Boil the milk in a small pot until it begins to rise. Stir it while boiling. Pour the milk in the cup until it is half full or 3/4 if you like it less strong. Pour coffee until the cup is full. Put the amount of sugar that you like and enjoy your own caffe latte.
Please let me know if you tried it and if you liked it. I am looking for a recipe of seafood dip. If you have one , please share with me. If you have other recipe that you want to share, please send it to me. Thank You!
