caffè leccese

Marion Wilting

This is another version of the Caffè in ghiaccio from the Italian region Salento (heel of the Italian boot). Instead of sugar, it uses almond milk to sweeten the coffee. Traditional almond milk is quite thick and sweet, so if your regular modern almond milk is not sweet enough, just add a teaspoon of almond syrup.
