Cuban pastries with Cuban coffee!

Today, we chatted over delicious Cuban pastries and coffee at my daughter's friend's house. I learned how to make delicious Cuban coffee from his mother and drank a Cuban coffee in a cute little glass. The pastry she baked herself was patelitos de guayaba (guava pastries), a delicious bread with a combination of sweet, chewy, and crunchy texture. I become very fond of Cuban pastries and coffee thanks to the invitation that day.

Café Cubano is a rich and sweet coffee that resembles the passion of Cuba.

Place ground coffee beans in a moka pot and prepare for extraction.

Put 2-3 tablespoons of sugar in a glass measuring cup, add coffee powder boiled in a moka pot, and knead as if making flour dough until it turns into caramel. (When the coffee begins to brew, add a small amount of coffee to the jug containing the sugar, enough to slightly wet the sugar.)

Afterwards, pour the coffee from the moka pot that has been boiled and extracted into this. Stir until the caramel melts to complete the process.

Elizabeth shook the Cuban coffee well and poured it into a small, pretty glass like the one above. The coffee tasted sweet and full of flavor, like caramel espresso.

Guava is a delicious fruit, and guava juice is sometimes called the ‘drink of the gods.’

Elizabeth also used guava, made it into jam and baked it into pastries. Of course, the combination of Cuban coffee and this pastry is a taste of heaven.
